Without You

Rent Soundtrack

Without you, the ground thaws
the rain falls
the grass grows

Without you, the seeds root
the flowers bloom
the children play

The stars gleam
the poets dream
the eagles fly
without you

The Earth turns
the sun burns
but I die, without you

Without you, the breeze warms
the girl smiles
the cloud moves

Without you, the tides change
the boys run
the oceans crash

The crowds roar
the days soar
the babies cry
without you

The moon glows
the river flows
but I die without you

The world revives
colors renew
but I know blue
only blue
lonely blue
willingly blue
Without you

Without you, the hand gropes
the ear hears
the pulse beats

Without you, the eyes gaze
the legs walk
the lungs breathe

The mind churns
the heart yearns
the tears dry without you

Life goes on
but I'm gone
'cause I die, without you
without you
without you
without you...

Speaking right to my heart.

Laura,

I learned of your situation while I was recently visiting my family in Winnipeg. Since that time you and your family have been in my thoughts. I wanted to let you know that I wish you all the best in your struggle to bring your child home. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you and your family and I wish you strength and courage as you go through this difficult time. My sincere wish for you is that you will one day be able to hold your child in your arms and that your beautiful daughter Sarah will have a brother or sister.

I truly wish you all the best.

Stephanie Claude
