| This world in which I live Has me in a spin I feel like I can't win There are countless bodies on this earth But if you take time and search You'll see That in the end it's worth - to have a friend you consider to be Your sister, brother, blood, or other And how much they mean, To you it can't seem - Possible That someone loves you that much And is real enough to touch My brother and friend Though blood relation was not true Was an angel sent to me From the heavens above you see FOr his love there was no fee All I had to do was be - Me Unconditional He was there for me He inspired me Spiritually He was meaningful, incredible, unforgettable A man who did nothing wrong - to anyone 3 Years ago Marked the day that made my life an O a circle - Never ending always bending My heart instantly tore Two halves One here, on with you up in the sky so high I'll never forget The way that I was never let To be dumb, or act stupid Because you were always there to protect I'll never forget That day when I got a call Just about to start my shift When the wall - closed in All around me I couldn't breath They told me the story They said that they were sorry That wasn't mandatory They tried not to make it gory But I could see it all You were on the passenger side Just catching a ride - with a friend Not knowing you life was about to end While making a turn The other driver never learned - the rules of the road That a stop sign has a purpose She should be in a circus Acting so dumb Drinking beer and rum On her way home from a bar With her fun in a car What a great birthday she spent She said she never ment For it to happen She didn't see She just turned 19 Drinking and driving couldn't possibly be Something that would affect we, he, she, us, or you But it did More than anyone could ever imagine In a world filled with hate and war I sit at home and think about you some more Hearing my parent's bickering at the door I'm too tired to argue anymore All this pettiness has numbed me to my core I went to you grave today Why I havn't visited in three years is hard to say Now at home I'd like to ask you a question if I may I lay down and wonder Do you hear me when I speak? Every night before I lay myself down to sleep I pray and talk to you But as I close my eyes lying on my bed The newspaper article headline keeps running through my head 1 drunk, 1 dead |
