Story behind the song
Dedicated to those who die young..
Lyrics
verse 1:
As I begin to recollect on the days that we shared.
When the laughter and the love had still prevailed.
I can’t come to understand why it all had to stop.
My heart burst and I cried at the moment you dropped.
Now David was a little boy who had a crush on a girl.
Who didn’t know of death or all the dirt in the world.
Unique or outcast—put faith in a dream.
Saw the bright side of life, when the darkness would gleam.
Drama king saw the things that friendship brings.
Opened his heart and his mind and then we would see.
But David’s just a little and boy who’s to tell him,
That he’ll collide into a car and meet an early end.
He could’ve been a doctor, a lawyer, an activist
He could’ve been a musician, writer, philanthropist.
He could’ve been a father or anything other.
But to us he was more, he was our brother.
chorus:
why do we have to die—so young?
Never to see where dreams—come from.
I know that you’re smiling down—on us. shedding
Teardrops on Tombstones.
verse 2:
Take care of my brother, take care of my friend
Andrew Bostic: the angel, the comrade of men.
Too soon you left us with so much to accomplish.
We’re missin your presence and that’s being honest.
Your demise is more than a tragedy that we can’t cope with.
Knowing you won’t catch us when we all fall and trip
My emotions are racing and I can’t catch my breath
As I’m saying goodbye, I can’t leave you yet.
While I’m standing over your grave, I know we all move on.
And no matter what stops us we have to be strong.
Soft drops of my heart fall into your hands
I hope you’ve gone on and I hope that we can.
chorus:
why do we have to die—so young?
Never to see where dreams—come from.
I know that you’re smiling down—on us. shedding
Teardrops on Tombstones.
verse 3:
Walking away from the cemetery knowing that you buried
Sometimes I wanna roll and see death in a hurry.
Dear Lord are you listening? I need you here with me.
Please revive my soul and take care my destiny.
I’m a soldier of the cross but I’m sick of bein lonely.
I need you to intervene and come and console me.
The plan: to make a meal ticket and survive.
But now I see my peers and the world as they pass me by.
Put my mind to sleep and put me a casket
Never to remember all the bad that’s happened.
I don’t know how much longer I can stand to take it.
Please let me come with you.. I’m home sick.
chorus:
why do we have to die—so young?
Never to see where dreams—come from.
I know that you’re smiling down—on us. shedding
Teardrops on Tombstones.
verse 4:
In the still of the night I lie awake unknowin
Life’s about to change but we continue growin.
Quiet down, I gotta call. It’s my girl telling me
Another brother died and still I can’t believe.
I shed silent tears and I know you’re with God.
But my soul’s torn apart by your very thought.
Walkin away, my eyes blurry and I kiss you goodbye.
Knowin we’ll kick it sometime in the afterlife.
Though memories fade your spirit will forever stay.
And we’ll keep you in our hearts until our dyin days.
Rest In Peace you’re free no more aggravated stress
Trippin over grades or expectations never met
Were a soldier from the start, since the day you were born.
Tears drippin on the grass, how long will we mourn?
Staring at your face, the cold, serene expression.
We cry at the knowledge that you were a blessing.
I know that you’re gone and you met your demise.
You live on in our hearts; we wipe the tears from our eyes.
