| He just turned eighteen, high school senior, book smart
|
| Dreamed of the NFL, captain of the football team
|
| Prom king, mom proud, college bound
|
| Like look at my baby he’s a scholar now
|
| While the homies were sitting faded
|
| He concentrated, kept his nose inside the books
|
| And now he finally made it
|
| Celebrate it with the fam
|
| He the first to be overcoming obstacles and adversity
|
| So many dark days and cold cold nights (cold nights)
|
| But the future’s looking all so bright
|
| That’s why it doesn’t seem quite fair
|
| In a split second dreams turned into a nightmare
|
| He was gone by the time paramedics arrived
|
| Ironically the drunk driver survived
|
| At the funeral his mom just cried and cried
|
| Couldn’t help but keep wondering why
|
| Then she heard the angel sing.
|
| Faith is forever, so right now
|
| Lets just go to where we lead the world (lead the world)
|
| So father, bring us home we will never know
|
| (we will never know)
|
| (To heaven’s ceiling, we take this life and bring it home with me)
|
| She’s a mother of three
|
| Two boys, one girl and a husband indeed
|
| Feeling blessed way beyond words can describe
|
| Stay at home mom and she wears it with pride
|
| Girl scout meetings and soccer practice
|
| Grocery shopping and filing taxes
|
| And a missed of all list its still dinner at 6
|
| A picture perfect life, you thought it didn’t exist
|
| He’s real, we searching for answers
|
| Time stood still when she heard the words Cervical cancer
|
| And the fear’s below
|
| Doctor says she has six months that was 3 years ago
|
| Now the whole family’s gathered at the side of her bed
|
| Only sound of silence that’s aside of her head
|
| Tears rolling down the cheek she’s beginning to pray
|
| Closed her eyes and started drifting away
|
| It will be okay.
|
| Faith is forever, so right now
|
| Lets just go to where we lead the world (lead the world)
|
| So father, bring us home we will never know
|
| (we will never know)
|
| (To heaven’s ceiling, we take this life and bring it home with me)
|
| I’m tryna be faithful
|
| For every second I’m grateful that we had together
|
| Forever and ever I will treasure but why do they have to take you
|
| Still can’t let you go, just to let you know
|
| Everytime I close my eyes, I see your face god bless your soul |
