I Didn't Hear it on the News

I didn’t hear it on the news today, About how you were changing you way, About how you were leaving the world, With so many tears on people’s faces, The world lost someone great today But I didn’t hear it on the news today, I didn’t hear it on the news today, How much you impacted everyone around you, But you were not told about because you weren’t A celebrity you were what is considered normal, And normal doesn’t sell news today, I didn’t hear it on the news today, That you were marrying the guy of your dreams, And that you couldn’t tell me because the news Was all filled with things of sadness and not greatness, Of wars and pain, Of hate and religion, Of politics and strife, I didn’t hear it on the news today, That you had a new joy that you brought in the world, That you brought a new face to the planet, That your life forever changed, That you were now experiencing parenthood, I didn’t hear it on the news today, That the person you thought loved you, Broke your heart into millions
