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
Andrew made no sound as he fell
It's hard to believe said
We won't be seeing Andy again
He'd achieved so many goals
that man keeps striving for
Big house, good job, expensive car,
He had it made as far as we could tell
We were his friends, we knew him well
I can't believe it's true
I can't believe that Andrew took his life
I can't believe the man I loved
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
what a father and son should be
and I thought that he loved me
He was my son, I knew him well
I won't believe that it was suicide
In the past few years I know
perhaps he strayed from the foe
But he would never put in jeopardy
He must have lost his balance,
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 crossed the bridge
Time for one last defiant yell
But Andrew made no sound as he fell
