Story Behind The Song

Just put my name in and take the word "person" out of the Long Description and you'll have it.

Song Description

It's what an orphan might wish; or a person,living amid an epidemic plague (AIDS for instance)may plead, having lost so many friends to it... and tired of candle-light vigils,this is something he might pause for a moment to sing as a prayer to God, or a lullaby beside a dying friend's bed.

Lyrics

Don't Anybody Leave *

Maybe
I'm foolish with my wishes
Maybe
I don't believe
Every -
One has wishes
Mine is
Don't anybody leave

I know
What happens when you let go
I don't
Prefer to grieve
Although
Time may come to let go
Right now
Don't anybody leave

Hold on
For one more breath
Find a way
To stay the night
One more round
Of cheating death
How I hope and pray
We might

Some say
They'll be back in a minute
Then they
Can't be retrieved
Some play
Between the doors and exits
Please stay
Don't anybody leave

Hold on
For one more night
Find a way
To stay until the new day
One more round
Will be alright
But if you must go
I won't stand in your way

Maybe
it's hard to stick around here
So many things
Are hard to like
Reaching out
For what I hold dear
Helps me
Make it through the night

Maybe
You hear another call you
Some far away familiar voice
If it is one you feel you're drawn to
Tell me
I'll let you make that choice

I know
There comes a time we must go
To our home
Beyond the light
When that's so
I'll see you in a rainbow
Till that time
Please stay and hold on tight
Don't anybody leave, Don't anybody leave, Please! Don't anybody leave

Don't Anybody Leave *

Maybe
I'm foolish with my wishes
Maybe
I don't believe
Every -
One has wishes
Mine is
Don't anybody leave
I know
What happens when you let go
I don't
Prefer to grieve
Although
Time may come to let go
Right now
Don't anybody leave

Hold on
For one more breath
Find a way
To stay the night
One more round
Of cheating death
How I hope and pray
We might
Some say
They'll be back in a minute
Then they
Can't be retrieved
Some play
Between the doors and exits
Please stay
Don't anybody leave

Hold on
For one more night
Find a way
To stay until the new day
One more round
Will be alright
But if you must go
I won't stand in your way
Maybe
tt's hard to stick around here
So many things
Are hard to like
Reaching out
For what I hold dear
Helps me
Make it through the night
Maybe
You hear another call you
Some far away familiar voice
If it is one you feel you're drawn to
Tell me
I'll let you make that choice

I know
There comes a time we must go
To our home
Beyond the light
When that's so
I'll see you in a rainbow
Till that time
Please stay and hold on tight
Don't anybody leave, Don't anybody leave, Please! Don't anybody leave

Don't Anybody Leave *

Maybe
I'm foolish with my wishes
Maybe
I don't believe
Every -
One has wishes
Mine is
Don't anybody leave
I know
What happens when you let go
I don't
Prefer to grieve
Although
Time may come to let go
Right now
Don't anybody leave

Hold on
For one more breath
Find a way
To stay the night
One more round
Of cheating death
How I hope and pray
We might
Some say
They'll be back in a minute
Then they
Can't be retrieved
Some play
Between the doors and exits
Please stay
Don't anybody leave

Hold on
For one more night
Find a way
To stay until the new day
One more round
Will be alright
But if you must go
I won't stand in your way
Maybe
tt's hard to stick around here
So many things
Are hard to like
Reaching out
For what I hold dear
Helps me
Make it through the night
Maybe
You hear another call you
Some far away familiar voice
If it is one you feel you're drawn to
Tell me
I'll let you make that choice

I know
There comes a time we must go
To our home
Beyond the light
When that's so
I'll see you in a rainbow
Till that time
Please stay and hold on tight
Don't anybody leave, Don't anybody leave, Please! Don't anybody leave
