(Barnardo)

Why did Carrots have to die?

He was far too young to die.

Mine's the fault, the misery

Is mine alone.

​

I was the only friend he had

What a friend to leave him to his fate.

Why did Carrots have to go?

He was far too young, although

With some help from Barnardo

He could have lived.

He was the only friend he had

What a friend to leave him to his fate.

To leave him to his fate.
