The Thought of My Night
IN FRONT OF ME
THERE
IT LAYED A SOLDIER
A BOY WHO NEVER THOUGHT THAT HIS LIFE WAS
OVER
HE KEPT ON TRYING
EVEN THOUGH WE TOLD HIM TO STOP
BUT HE WANTED TO CHANGE HIS LIFE SO HE COULD MAKE IT TO THE TOP
HIS GRADES STARTED TO GET GOOD AND HIS ATTITUDE WAS RIGHT
SO IF THAT WAS A GOOD THING
THEN WHY DID GOD TAKE HIS LIFE
WHY HE GOT HIM SO SOON
WHY WAS HE CHALLENGE TO DEATH
HOW COME ON THAT SATURDAY NIGHT WAS THE LAST OF HIS BREATH
THIS IS THOUGHT OF MY NIGHT
AND THE WONDER OF MY DAY
AND THIS IS ON MY MIND EVERY NIGHT
THAT I PRAY
HE WAS ONLY 15
AND HIS HEAD WAS ON RIGHT
HE WAS GOING THE RIGHT PATH
WITH A FUTURE SO BRIGHT
BUT HE IS GONE NOW
AND EVERYBODY IS SAD
EVERBODY IS CRYING
AND ALL HIS PEOPLES ARE MAD
ME
I WAS CRYING FOR 3 MONTHS
A WEEK AND 2 HOURS
AND JUST THE THOUGHT OF HIS DEATH MADE ME MOAN
LOUDER, AND LOUDER
I WAS IN SHOCK
WHEN I SAW THAT GOD PLAY HIS PART
HE TOOK HIM WHEN HE COULD
AND THAT'S WHEN HE STOPED HIS HEART
IT WAS SET ON HIS MIND FOR HIM TO WIN THAT
GAME
BUT WHEN HE GOT TACKLED
EVERYTHING HAD DONE CHANGED
NO ONE EXPECTED HIM TO DIE
EVERYBODY WANTED HIM TO LIVE
BUT PEOPLE COME AND GO
AND THAT IS JUST HOW IT IS
THAT NIGHT HAD ENDED IN A MAJOR TRAGEDY
IT WAS SO SUDDEN
AND IT WAS SO SAD TO SEE
BUT EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPEN
WE GOT TO KEEP MOVING
WE GOT TO LIVE OUR LIFE
AND WE GOT TO KEEP CHOOSING
MAGMAR
YOUR WITH US EVERY NIGHT AND DAY
YOUR WITH US WHEN WE DREAM
AND THE NIGHT'S THAT WE PRAY
YOU WOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
YOU WOULD ALWAY'S BE A STAR
IS MESSED UP
THAT IT TOOK ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN
FOR PEOPLE TO REALIZE WHO YOU ARE
IT WAS YOUR TIME TO GO
IT'S NOT ANYBODY'S FAULT
BUT EVEN THOUGH YOUR GONE YOUR SOUL WILL ALWAY'S HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART
REST.IN.PEACE
