Gone but not forgotten

ashes to ashes.. and dust to dust,
back to the earth.. from which you came,
you may be gone.. but not forgotten,
Lord how many lives.. you changed,

we lay you in the.. ground tomorrow,
tonight your body we.. gather round,
paying tribute.. to all the memories,
even in this sadness.. I can't be down,

oh how we laughed at.. all the stories,
many I wouldn't.. dare to tell,
with you my friend.. it was never boring,
we sure did our share of.. raising hell,

ashes to ashes.. and dust to dust,
back to the earth.. from which you came,
you may be gone.. but not forgotten,
Lord how many lives.. you changed,

you sure lit up.. any room you entered,
lifted me up anytime.. I felt down,
got us out of any trouble,
just by flashing.. that ornry smile,

oh dear god.. how were gonna miss you,
can't believe.. your really gone,
but those memories.. will live forever,
with those left to.. carry on,

ashes to ashes.. and dust to dust,
back to the earth.. from which you came,
you'll never.. be gone or forgotten,
not with.. how many lives you changed,

we lay you.. in the ground tomorrow,
tonight your body.. we gather round,
paying tribute to.. all the memories,
even in this sadness.. I can't be down,

they say every end.. is a beginning,
and every beginning.. is an end,
so i guess until i meet you on the other side,
ill be down here missing you my friend,

cant you just leave us one angel...

they say the good die young,
but do you have to prove us that again,
im asking just this once,
can you just bless us with more time with our friend,

he's always been the sunshine,
even through the pouring rain,
could laugh his way through anything,
never showed a sign of pain,

i know you need your angles,
to help you with the fight,
i know those damn demons,
i wrestle with them every night,

he's always been a good soldier,
with everything he'd ever do,
from standing tall for us in the desert,
to teaching a kid to tie his shoe,

he never let the darkness or fear drag him down
through the worst of anything he still played the clown,

always had us laughing always raising hell,
that ornry little smile we all go to know so well,

he's got a wife and family,
and a future going strong,
you can put me in his place if you need to,
for all that ive done wrong,


i know you need your angles,
to help you with the fight,
against those damn demons,
i wrestle with them every night,

he's always been a good soldier,
with everything he'd ever do,
from standing tall for us in the desert,
to teaching a kid to tie his shoes,

he never let the darkness or fear drag him down
through the worst of anything he still played the clown,

always had us laughing, always raising hell,
that ornry little smile, we all go to know so well,

good god we need our angels, down here just the same,
if you havent noticed, this worlds going up in flames,

with all thats caving in around us,
do you really need to call home,
one of the few angels among us,
not afraid to bare the load,


do you think just maybe, this time you could spare,
not for his sake, but for the same of us down here,
i know this might sound greedy, but i dont wanna let him go,
and im gonna have to understand, if you decide to call him home,


i know you need your angles,
to help you with the fight,
against those damn demons,
i wrestle with them every night,

he's always been a good soldier,
with everything he'd ever do,
from standing tall for us in the desert,
to teaching a kid to tie his shoes,

he never let the darkness or fear drag him down
through the worst of anything he still played the clown,

always had us laughing, always raising hell,
that ornry little smile, we all go to know so well,

if your calling home this angel,
just answer one prayer from me,
teach me to be half the angel,
while im down here that was he,

repeats the curse

hurry up fast forward, now put it in reverse,
just like a soap opera, repeats the curse,
she knocks it all down, to build it back up again
grabbing on to anything, she can squeeze in her hands,

afraid to let go and let things be
just like saran wrap she likes to cling
she knows what she wants all the time,
right up until she changes her mind,

afraid to let go, afraid to hang on,
afraid of loosing anything she lays her eyes upon,

she lost herself a long time ago,
now lost it the world, doesnt know how to flow,

trying to find herself a better way,
trying so damn hard, she chases it all away,
hoping somewhere to find a better day,
oh why's this world gotta be this way,
