Michael

I once knew a boy Twenty years old Living life on his own Doing nothing he was told Hit the gym everyday Future was on the way No one saw it coming He got tired of running Running from something No one can define Only answer to the puzzle Is locked up in his mind A mind misunderstood Holding it all in At a party Friday night Next morning caught in sin Experience a moment of silence Experience violence Through parents now childless We've heard stories that will remain timeless We can't be relying on death to remind us We think our lives sometimes go roughly Well this boy's life ended abruptly I'm griding my teeth Standing in my sleep Hope your dream's complete And you're resting in peace What causes us to take our lives? Whose choice is it to make? Just one life is all it takes Exposing what's at stake The stake between the heart The living man will now depart So lonely on his own His final stitch is sewn Oh brother of this Earth Please know you are worth More than these words can say More than secrets more than pain Michael where'd the pain come from? Tell me what have we done? Some may say you've lost the race But we all know you've won I can't believe he took his life Experience violence through parents now childless Whose choice was it to make? We can't be relying on death to remind us Just one life is all it takes Well this boy's life ended abruptly Exposing what's at stake Hope your dream's complete And you're resting in peace Today we let a child go Today we let our crying flow Today will mark no not the end He will start a new life again Golden son this boy was one Of a kind He can fly, he can fly His memory won't die Friends and family come together Come together Mourn the loss Endure the weather Endure the weather The breeze that blew upon your face The breeze that came and took your place I may not be your best of friend But I will be here to defend I can't believe he took his life We won't forget our brethren Whose choice was it to make? The legend, the legacy Just one life is all it takes Win our hearts you will be Exposing what's at stake In our hearts you will be Mikey
