Driving through southern states
smiles and laughs making our escape
to the sunny state of florida we go
yet another vacation we shall undergo
oh what a time it was making our descent
through the mountains and valleys i went
memories of my dad glancing back with a smile
yet its hard 2 picture but worthwhile
finally made our descent on daytona beach
not remembering any words that were speaked
everything is starting to become a blur
cause of the bad things that start to occur
im on the beach wearing a great big grin
quickly it turned down, bad feelings start 2 begin
theres something terribly wrong so i go back
dad where are you? then everythign turns black
i see him lying on the ground so still, so cold
everything is mute i only feel my heart unfold
i try to get to him but im being held back
tears flowing hittin the ground, smack, smack
now im in the waiting room feeling disbelief
i wanna see my dad im not ready to grieve
doctor said he will never talk or walk again
im only 7 not knowing what is being explained
a year goes by and hes still in the hospital
after awhile i felt like it was my 2nd home
now i know i cant play catch or make jokes with him
i cant hear him cheer me on and say good hit
what is going on? why did this happen for?
a question i just cant seem to ignore
im 12 now and made it thru the painful slump
not knowing the worse is to come
as im at the house alone feeling disarray
my dad is sick but is 2 return today
i hear the phone ring, thinkin oh no not again
tears r falling before i get a chance to answer
my sis says dads dead, dads dead
i fall 2 the ground tears start to shed
im 14 now lost without my dad who i adore
still asking myself why did this happen for?
