She has a light and a faith that won't die
She has a heart of a lion and the will to survive
She has a pretty young daughter back home
Who'll soon start to cry when she's gone
When she's gone. When she's gone. When she's gone
Now she spends her days with a mission to live
She loves to laugh, and will offer a hand to forgive
And she has a man with two arms open wide who will take her in when she's gone
When she's gone. When she's gone. When she's gone
She fights through the pain and she smiles when she sleeps. (Smiles when she sleeps)
And dreams of the days when we'll all finally meet
She often says that she lives in a world we'll never know
We hope we never know
We sit together and talk about our faith
We play a game where we'll sing all our troubles away
Though she's glad to be with me
She knows darn well that her next life awaits when she's gone
Oh, when she's gone
When she's gone
When she's gone, she's gone. She's gone
She's gone away. She's gone away
She's gone. She's gone. When she's gone
Oh, no. (When she's gone)
Oh, she's gone
I know she's gone. (When she's gone)
