D'Andre's Last Message/ His Paradise
I hear the gun go off so I run
I was only at a party trying to have some fun
A seemingly safe decision turned dangerous
To speeding bullets from a gun I was powerless
Shooting pain drills up my spine
Just a few minutes ago I was fine
I feel my body tumbling towards the floor
Running, screeching, screaming galore
Everything around me begins to fade
I'm losing consciousness, I'm in a daze
"No please don't go" I hear
Sadly, to the light I was already near
I tried to open my mouth to say one last word
My soul flew up to heaven like a bird
My body left the earth but my soul stayed
To comfort the people who so greatly prayed
That losing me was all a dream and that I would return
For me their broken hearts yearned
But I'm in a better place now where I shed no tears
I am safe here but for them I have fear
For they live on earth where evil exists
But one day they will be with me again in this
Paradise
