Friends come and go like a leaf in the wind.
They can throw shade like a flame that goes out.
Once along the darkened field he saw her.
The one who would soon bring light to his world.
She came without ribbons and things made of plastic.
She waltzed right in and turned things around.
They spent what seemed to be years together.
Got married, had kids, you know the works.
Years go by and with each day that passed
The fire within them burned even hotter
His children had children and loved him so
He got very sick and is laying in bed fighting
Surrounded by loved ones his wife grabs him
He slowly takes his last breath as cries fill the air
He then awakens only to find he's stuck.
Back into the life he once hated and destroyed.
This is a darkened story of a man I once knew
This is the legend of The Man Who Woke Up.
