about

boy ends his life after being persecuted for acting gay.

lyrics

Alexander walked alone
over the bridge into a blue zone
where black night and starry sky
the sounds of the town make you cry

Alexander was 13 years old
he liked the boy 3 doors down
but please don't tell cause you burn in hell
the sounds at school make you hide

lovely wishes filled his mind
and beautiful boys made him smile
when you see him in heaven give him a kiss
love and affection is no crime


there was a boy, a beautiful child
who hanged from the sky at the top of the stairs
where black night and falling stars
stopped the sounds that made him cry

lovely wishes filled his mind
and beautiful boys made him smile
when you see him in heaven give him a kiss
love and affection is no crime
