sitting on a park bench thinking about a friend of mine he was only twenty three gone before he had his time it came without a warning didn t want his friends to see him cry he knew the day was dawning and i didn t have a chance to say goodbye in this life i loved you most of all what for because now you re gone and i have to ask myself what for what for driving down the boulevard thinking about a man i knew he was like a father to me nothing in the world that he wouldn t do taught me to respect myself said that we re all made of flesh and blood why should he be treated differently shouldn t matter who you choose to love in this life i loved you most of all what for because now you re gone and i have to ask myself what for people pass by and i wonder who s next who determines who knows best is there a lesson i m supposed to learn in this case ignorance is not bliss in this life i loved you most of all what for because now you re gone and i have to ask myself what for  people pass by and i wonder who s next who determines who knows best is there a lesson i m supposed to learn in this case ignorance is not bliss have you ever watched your best friend die have you ever watched a grown man cry some say that life isn t fair i say that people just don t care they d rather turn the other way and wait for this thing to go away why do we have to pretend some day i pray it will end i hope it s in this life i hope it s in this life time i hope it s in this life i hope it s in this life time2
