"A writer is a world trapped inside a person." —Victor Hugo


They say there are seven billion people in the world
Seven billion minus one
They say there are seven billion people in the world
How is my heart so shattered that one is gone?
They say there are seven billion people in the world
Only a tiny fraction is lost
They say there are seven billion people in the world
How does a fraction matter so much?
They say there are seven billion people in the world
But the smallest part is a whole
They say there are seven billion people in the world
Yet there's a hole in my heart that no billion can fill
They say there are seven billion people in the world
Seven billion minus one
But there are multitudes in heaven
Where I'll see him again, praising the Son
