Eternal

Verse #1:

We wiped our tears as we laid you to rest, broken hearted; it’s so hard to say that this is the end. Feeling empty inside, I’ve got a hollowed out chest. It’s like a part of me died with you on that hospital bed. And even though I know you’re gone I feel so blessed that we met, cause we made some memories that I won’t ever forget. Like smoking at the house on Gratiot till there wasn’t none left, I still got that picture of all of us out on the steps. But I’ve gone through some changes, I’ve grown a little more patient. I’ve even got a son back at home and he’s truly amazing. I quit using prescriptions for my suppression of pain. Now I enjoy the sunshine instead of dreading the rain. And through all the bullshit, still I find some sort of peace. I’m not even the same person when I rhyme to the beat. So when it’s my time to leave and we finally meet, I can’t help but wonder will you even recognize me?

Chorus:

Tomorrow ain’t promised, oh no. Supernatural forces take hold. So have you made peace between you and me? I am not sure where we go. And if Heaven and Hell do exist, I pray Heaven for you and I wish; your spirit be free, you’ll be where you need. Through me you’ll live eternal. Through me you’ll live eternal. Yea, through me you’ll live eternal.

Verse #2:

Tryna convince myself I shouldn’t fret. Like you’re in a better place now still whipping the Corvette; you never knew cancer, everything’s still intact. You’ve got a smile on you’re face and the wind at you’re back. You got a chance to see your grandkids grow. Start their own families it all happened like ready set go. Ryan’s a tattoo artist now, you should see him he’s dope. Matter of fact, next week I think he’s tattooing Joe. You know Tiffany’s working at a radio station now. Charlotte’s looking at past decisions and she’s changing them out. Like my son’s filling up his diapers and I’m changing them out. If you could see us all I know deep down that we’d make you proud. I guess a lot of things have changed ever since you’ve been gone. The fact that you got taken away from all of us feels wrong. When it’s time to leave and we finally meet, I can’t help but wonder will you even recognize me?
