Analysis of He lets you live
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
He lets you.
He lets you live.
He says it's your time not mine only.
He says live your best life.
And he watches.
As you live.
As time seems to go by.
He let's you.
He lets you live.
And he doesn't turn away.
While you live.
He doesn't interfere too much.
He lets you.
He lets you live.
He says its okay to cry.
But I will stop your tears.
And you live.
He lets you.
He lets you live.
