prayer for the dead

[ArmyDansGirl]

When they told me you were gone I bent my head and cried
you said you'd live forever , you didn't but you tried

i talked to you just days before
i had no idea you'd be knockin on heavens door
you got in your truck and put th emetal to the floor
you had no clue that this was it you'd race no more

I wonder what your last words were as you lay dying in your friends arms
i wonder if you still had your whit, your smile and your charm
why couldn't some angel swooped down and kept you from this harm
did you hear the sirens blaring, racingj towards you full alarm?

you lived life as so many never have the courage to do
always on the go, acting crazy, that was you
you never took the beaten path opted for things less tried, less true
you wre always there for everything tough I had to go through

I guess it's appropriate that you went out this way
screamin down the highway, high, you didn't consider the price you'd have to pay
I didn't go to your funeral but I knwo you heard me pray
I do it everynight I knwo you hear every word I have to say

not a lot of people understand what it is to be free
but that was what you were, and what you passed on to me
I promised you someday I'd ride your Harley with you to the sea
I'll stil do it now 'cept it will be and I instead of a we

Ill never say goodbye to you Uncle Keith don't wait for it
I think of you often sweetie and it makes me smile just a bit
you remember me as a crazy girl who didn't give a shit
I hope you see now that I'm a woman with a canlde that is lit.

R.I.P Uncle Keith mwahs
