It Could Have Been Me

Sweet rice Sleep tight Everybody ride a bike Home sick pick up bricks Throwing up doesn't necessary mean you're sick You could be having an exhortation Just missed the revelations Now whose gonna abide, who will ride on this train, this train Coppertone, mega phone You are not alone Jeremy, Conway Twitty Everyone a bit gitty Throwing up doesn't necessary mean you're sick You could be having an exhortation Just missed the revelations Now whose gonna abide, who will ride on this train, on this train It could have been me It could have been me Oh, oh well it could have been me Lost and destroyed and losing my soul It could have been me There was a car accident about six miles away it could have been me On a journey t hat I normally would, go that way, go that way Running a little bit late so I chose to go another way On the news later on I heard what went down Was a seven car pile up on the highway where I was gonna go.. It could have been, could have been me In that horrible accident many died, few survived It could have been me at the scene Later on that day in the early evening time On the news I heard of a bank robbery it was at the branch that I usually go to even at the exact time Opting out of danger is unknown to me but took a different route that day Running a little bit late Oh, Lord it could have been it could have been me in a car accident, dead or dying Oh! I thank you for saving my life and redirecting me Oh, Lord it could have been me at the bank been one of the customer and tellers who got shot But you saved me you redirected me It could have been me Written by James Edward Lee Sr. June 14 2011 From Anthology "Revelations"
