As the world tends to go around
I look up at the sky, from the ground
Can't shake this feeling of how blue it can be
So, I ask myself why has God chosen me
Don't get me wrong it a beautiful thing
To be chosen by the creator like an angel with wings
Then, out of the light comes the darkness
People suffering and killing and families remorsing
Love one are being taken away too soon.
They're lying on the floor in the back bedroom
Their last call was for help, but no one was there
Someone came thru the door and began to stare
The person was gone. Cpr didn't help
Why am I chosen to be the angle of death
I realize no help is coming, and that won't change
We just adjust in life and deal with the pain
So we buried the thought in the back of our mind
We just deal with the situation time after time
If we call for help, it wouldn't even matter.
The pain is buried in our minds like a close chapter
