You may think it's a tradgedy
That she died
One day shy
Of her nineteenth birthday.

But if she could hear you
She would think you were crazy
She'd say I had a good life
I learned a lot lately. Lately.

Don't clap for me
This song ain't for me
This song's for a girl named Kelsey
Kelsey.
Kelsey.

Don't clap for me
This song ain't for me
This song's for a girl named Kelsey
Kelsey.

Every day she was
surrounded by friends
And they made her laugh
And they helped her cleanse.

She wrote this poem
Called 'To Hope or Not to Hope'
And the room was hers whenever she spoke
She was a bright, bright light.

Sunday morning came a little to fast
And everyone was praying for the minutes to last
But Kelsey said
I can't stay

So mom and dad
Sat with her on her bed
And they touched her face
And they stroked her head
And they watched her
As she went away

Don't clap for me
This song ain't for me
This song's for a girl named Kelsey
Kelsey.

Don't clap for me
This song ain't for me
This song's for a girl named Kelsey
Kelsey.

This song was meant to celebrate your life
But we get sad and we still cry
For you Kelsey.
