Times were good before the bomb fell I remember them very well
And I try to think about them when I cannot sleep from the smell of the burning debris
That’s scattered around this room leaving ashes remnant of doom
Clouding up my memory it’s hard to remember, hard to remember
Seems to me there was much happiness, seems to me there was much fun
Seems to me the signs were not hard to miss
I must have closed my, I must have closed my eyes…
Living in the world today we can get lost in the grind
Every day it seems we become more numb to its challenges and hurdle its obstacles
Wish you were here right now so I could tell you to your face
That none of our problems are too big to overcome, we can get by them, so…
Don’t tell me that you don’t love me, tell me no longer that you don’t care
Don’t tell me that I deceived you, that is just one side and it isn’t fair
Not to get on with forgiveness ‘cause that’s supposed to be our way
We could have lessened the distance between us
I would have met you; I would have met you halfway…
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord our souls to keep
This is not the way I wanted it, Heaven knows, no,
Not like this…
Lets get on with today, spreading love on our way
We can hike the trails and then fly the skies and checkout the clouds from above them
Now you’re with me not like before, I can feel your presence and I adore
The way you wrap your arms around me, seeking from me a brotherly hug, oh…
I believe we have a new start, even though you’re not physically here
We’re still brothers bound by blood and we’re all headed, all for eternity.
