Lyrics
Andrew had a smile on his face The day he resigned from the human race The arguments had all been heard, the verdict had been reached He turned his back upon his cage and leapt to his release Spinning like a carousel, Andrew made no sound as he fell "It's hard to believe", said Andrews friends "We won't be seeing Andy again He'd achieved so many goals, that men keep striving for Big house, good job, expensive car and a wife whom he adored He had it made as we could tell We were his friends; we knew him well..." "I can't believe it's true", said Andrew's wife "I can't believe that Andrew took his life I can't believe the man I loved won't be coming home I can't believe the man I loved would leave me here alone Without one word of love or of farewell He was my man; I knew him well..." "I don't believe it", Andrew's father said "I don't believe my little Andy's dead Perhaps we never were what a father and son should be But I always loved him, and I thought that he loved me Where did I go wrong, where did I fail? He was my son; I knew him well..." And "I won't believe it!" Andrew's mother cried "I won't believe that it was suicide! In the past few years I know perhaps he's strayed from the fold But he would never put in jeopardy his own immortal soul! He must have lost his balance slipped and fell He was my son; I knew him too well..." But Andrew had a smile on his face As he tumbled through the fragile space That spans the known and the unknown that bridges life and death Time, before he cross the bridge, for one final breath Time for one last defying yell, but Andrew made no sound as he fell
