R.I.P. Jeremy

He stood there looking
like her was going to cry
As he told me his brother
was going to die.

I wanted to hold him
real real tight
and promise him everything
would be alright.

But I couldn't promise him anything
cause I didn't know what the day would bring.

I felt bad
like a lot of people did
as his brothers car
got wrecked as it slid

Now Jeremy lies
in a hospital bed
with bumps and bruises
all over his head

he is hooked up
on oxygen
and never will he
live again

he is only seventeen
lying there with shattered dreams

I wish he could
be safe at home
where tragedy and sorrow
do not roam

he shouldn't be leaving
from this Earth
he has been a joy
since the day of his birth

I want to go
back in time
and make everything
in his life just fine

I can't do that
so heres some advice thats true
live life to the fullest
cause who knows it could be you
