Help Me Understand

How do I go on
When someone dear to me was wrongfully taken
How do I deal with the fact she is gone
God is putting us through hell
The hurt we can't explain
This pain put upon us was mistaken
The way we feel with her loss
We don't know how to tell
The memory of her still fresh in our minds
To bring her back for my mother I'd pay any cost 
Now only above is a lasting storm a lasting rain

I'd do whatever it takes to find
A way to put her memory to rest
And help my mother cope and be strong
And make my mom remember all is for the best 
Make her understand
That she's done nothing wrong

But how do you help someone go on
How do we go on with our lives 
When she's lost most of all
When she's lost her only angel..her mother 
One who she can no longer call
Even our God
Our one above
Our holy father 
Can't help her up after she may fall
She can no longer tell her mom "I love you"

Or celebrate any holiday
Because she is in heaven surrounded by blue
She has no way to talk with her mother
No way to say
The things she holds in her heart
The way my mom really does feel
Now that her mother has part
No one who tries can heal

Only her mother had that power
From the start 
But now she's above
With God and his angels in the sky
We can no longer experience her love
Just answer me this 
At a young age of 75 
Why did she have to die
Making memories with her mother she will always miss
