lyrics

It’s about time that I acted
Take a stand
Make a change
Live my passion
Oppressed by depression
This sickness
It’s not a choice, we’re victims
Liquor, frame, pills
Sold out shows, flashing lights
Strippers on a pole
Make it rain, big city nights
No question
It’s what I wanted
But innocence died in my arms now I’m haunted
Neil said needle and the damage done
So sweet at first but addiction took another one
Of my friends put them in the ground
Another child lost, never to be found
When I look back on the day you died
Every single memory flashed before your eyes
Did your hearts final note sing with pride
Or scream in sorrow for dead dreams you never tried?

Think of all the good left undone.

Tonight we’ll shine a light
For one more long lost life
Tonight well shine a light
For one more long lost life.

Rewind, frozen in the moment
Big smiles we joked about the omens
Can’t believe it took your death to save me from myself
Just a memory now.
But you’re pictures on the highest shelf
Spent everything I was I didn’t hold back
Bought a one way ticket on the right track
Just a working class act, as a matter of fact
I sobered up and learned what I lacked
But I got time, gonna let it grow
Young man, no concept of letting go
Took a long time to find the gold, in that stubborn kid
Playing soccer with a broken nose
Every single moment had a meaning back then
Can’t forget the first time I picked up a pen
you said Al,
‘You’re born to write, you’d regret quitting now if you die tonight”

We live so fast, and we die so young.

Tonight well shine a light
For one more long lost life.
Tonight well shine a light
For one more long lost life.
