Bound For Glory - Black September lyrics

So many things race through my head Of the perils, the dreams of the life you led I've so many memories of you, my friend You're in my thoughts with every tear I cry Only the good die young is the truth The sorrow of those that loved you is the proof How could you ever leave so soon? I keep asking why I think of the good times we shared The laughing, the joking without a care I never knew the burdens you beared I never had the chance to say goodbye I really wish I knew your pain I'd have done anything to take it away There were so many things I wanted to say There's so many questions, I keep asking why So many fallen, so many lost Grips my heart like a September frost How many more brothers must we render? Come the turning of black September You're in my heart day and night You were a shooting star shining bright I never thought you'd fade away But all good things must come to an end I have to close the book on this tragedy I feel like I've lost a part of me Memories of you is all I've got left I know one day we'll meet again I know you're off to a better place Soaring like an eagle with freedom and grace The wind to your back, the world is yours You are finally free You are always a part of the family I need your spirit to look over me As the wheels of time keep on turning I'll never lose the memories of you, my friend So many fallen, so many lost Grips my heart like a September frost How many more brothers must we render? Come the turning of black September
