I�m led to him through an open door, the light I see
I see him lying there; he starts to wag his tail on seeing me
The last I knew he was knocked down but able
My best friend hurt on a vet�s cold table
I�m told that he can�t come home or leave this place
The last time I can ever touch his fur and remember that face
�He is going to sleep�, never to return
I�m too young to understand but the message does deeply burn
My friend, my best friend is going and we only have this moment to part
I begin to cry as the injustice is unclear in my heart
But I bend to him as he lays on the cold table so sincere
Wagging his tail as he licks my hand to be near
He cannot move and groans with a slight ache
Our bond stronger than ever now must break
Tears in eyes, I pat him slowly as I start crying
He jolts in pain but tries not to let me know he�s dying
He licks my hand once more to say goodbye
The chain we made snaps as I hold a constant gaze into his eyes
Telling him everything in one moving stare
That he can go, that he can leave me but I know he�ll always be near
He barely groans while his tail tenderly sways
The life in his eyes quickly sapping away
I�m led back through the open door, the darkness I see
I glance back to see Benji�s eyes close and forever I�ll grieve
