Memory

every time i think of every thing i ever had

i look back and think how my life was so sad

never really had a dad

Ive been growing up feeling bad

just a young kid trying to feel glad

but now i see everything's just apart of me

trying to see all the good that could be

and now i just look up in the sky

lisoning to music just tryin to fly

i dont want to tell a lie

so all i really gotta say is why

why did my mom just pass me away

why do i gotta feel this every day

now im stuck here just trying to say

ok ok i get it im here now

step back let me see what i can allow

a life to live

a soul to give

am i aloud to forgive

im stuck here looking at a memory of a young kid

and now i dont even wanna know what i ever did
