The day that had me fixed to the ground
The day that made me wake up and look around
The day I felt the true meaning of woe
The day I was forced to watch you go

This day is one engraved forever in my memory
A day that sneaks into my dreams so easily
The unique moment in my life that made me realise
That life is full of both truths and lies

That even when sorrowful death is seen
it doesn’t mean that the living always believed
The fact that I was a child, only fifteen
Created my desperate need to be relieved

I wanted the pain to go away
I Didn’t want you to be gone yet another day
I wanted your cold skin to be warm yet again
I wanted to escape to way back when

Back when I could hear your laughter echo through the mall
Back when the last time I saw you wasn’t in a picture on the wall
Back when I didn’t have to cry about you to the unearthly heavens
Back when you didn’t live among the haloed legends

But back to the now we live in
Back to how this could only be the beginning
For with the breaths were blessed with today
And we shouldn’t let these memories fade away

We should learn to stand together hand in hand
In remembrance of those who left unplanned
And learn to preach life’s wonder and glory
’cause I don’t know about you, but that’s how I’d like them to tell my story
