THE MAN...
Life is so unfair
When you realize the dare
That was wasted in despair
Because something isn't there.
As I sit alone and cry
You question the reason why
And my troubled soul can't lie
It's for the days gone by.
It's for all the people I've met
And for all of those; not yet
For all the things I regret
And the times that I'll forget.
It's for the one who shaped the way
Who was honest up to the day
That this cruel world took him away
When he had every right to stay.
It's for the man that was so strong
Who knew the difference between right and wrong
Whose noble life should have been long
Because he prepared for it all along.
I cry because it's unfair
When I realize the care
That was beautiful and rare
And because he's just not there.
