Description
Spoken Word beginning: It hurt too much to see her stone pillar
crumbling before her, so she left... praying, begging for this man
to no longer be the shadow of what he once was.

Verse 1: He fell with a loud ka thunk on the floor,
had surgery and now he can't move anymore.
His limbs are paralyzed, Our hearts are broken up inside.
Can't bare to see his spirit die, "Oh won't you save him
please Lord", I cried out!

Chorus:  I just stood in the shadows and watched him wilt away...
Why'd you let me stand aside and watch him wilt away,
wilt away, wilt away.....

Verse:  The pain still hasn't left, from his unfortunate death.
I feel blindsided every time I'm reminded of him.
I cry... I weep... His life was swept right from under his feet.
It's not fair, not fair........!

Chorus:  I just stood in the shadows and watched him wilt away...
Why'd you let me stand aside and watch him wilt away,
wilt away, wilt away.....

Bridge:  Why'd you take him away? I just wanted him to stay.
He was healing, do you know the feeling of having a loved one
ripped away from this world... from this world......

Chorus:  I just stood in the shadows and watched him wilt away...
Why'd you let me stand aside and watch him wilt away,
wilt away, wilt away.....

Verse 3:  Please take away this sadness and depression.
I should be happy, cause I know that he's in Heaven,
with You.........

Ending:  But I just stood in the shadows and watched him wilt away...
Why'd you let me stand aside and watch him wilt away...
I regret all the time I spent watching him wilt away.
You could've taken my life instead of his that day...
He's with You now, feeling no pain,
but I gotta refrain from remembering me
watching him wilt away, wilt away, he wilted away..........
