October 23rd

Singing along, got the radio on

It's all okay

Rockin' out to Blue Foundation

My troubles for away

I didn't hear my mama scream

But I'm thinkin' it was loud

I didn't hear the gunshot

For that I am not proud

I pray

Lord, I feel so small somtimes

I know you make people that do these crimes

I wonder what it's like in a paradise

Where everything is oh so nice

I know you say when it's time for us to come home

But like some people say, When in Rome

You gotta try hard to keep around what you love

And Lord if you love me

You'll make me forget

October 23rd

Singing along to that same old song

Just a few years passed

People keep telling me, oh how sad

Dang, isn't this world vast?

I didn't know the time would come

To let my mama go

And every night I drop on my knees

Just to let Jesus know

Lord, I feel so small somtimes

I know you make people who do these crimes

I wonder what it's like in a paradise

Where everything is oh so nice

I know you say when it's time for us to come home

But like people say, When in Rome

You gotta try hard to keep around what you love

And Lord if you love me

You'll make me forget

October 23rd

People everywhere tell me they know just how I feel

But do they really? No they don't.

This situation just ain't real

Oh

And now I sit here in my room

On my mind, boys friends and school

But I don't got no mama to talk it through

Singing along. Yup, it's still the same song

I wish mama was here to sing too
