It\'s on the news,
It\'s On the computer,
It\'s in conversations,
Its in my head,
I cant escape it-
It\'s everywhere.
8:30 This morning,
you crossed a street,
who knows where you were going,
who knew the fate,
who knew the end?
8:30 This Morning,
the light was red-
the cross walk said go,
you took that step out onto,
that once empty road.
8:30 this morning,
a car going 50 Miles per hour-
you look over your shoulder-
A car not slowing down,
you stop in pure shock,
the car runs you over,
you fly in the air,
what went through your head-
what were your last words?
8:30 This morning,
the car didnt stop,
now a boy is dying
i wonder what he thought?
does he care,
That soon you might not be there?
8:30 this morning,
I slept soundly in my bed,
while my friend was crying,
because he might be dead.
8:30 this morning-
could be the saddest of them all,
because the one who stood so tall,
has now taken the fall.
8:30 this morning,
i didnt miss you yet,
but now the things that were never
said,
are now the things i regret.
Tomorrow i will wake up,
at 8:30 on the nose,
And think of my beloved friend,
The one We all Call \"Joe\"

Is watch where you drive...i mean even if you need to get some where quick...dont speed...you being late isnt worth someone dying...
