Young Wicked - Gone lyrics

[Intro:] ...I have so many things to see and do You must not tie yourself to me with tears Be happy that we had so many years I gave you love You can only guess how much you gave me in happiness I thank you for the love we each have shown But now it is time I traveled alone So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust It is only for awhile that we must depart So bless those memories within your heart I will not be far away for life goes on So if you need me, call and I will come Though you cannot see or touch me I will be near If you listen with your heart you will hear My love all around you then When you must come this way alone I will greet you with a smile and a welcome home [Verse 1:] When I think about and miss ya, every time I come across your picture I get shivers, wishing you were hear to Kiss my head and tell me that my life is worth livin' Plus you hold me while you pray, made me wanna be a christian Made me wanna sit and listen, everything you said was wisdom And your grand kids loved you like they were your own children Just to have you back for five more minutes I would giveth Everything I have to see you standing in your kitchen With another pot of chilly; another family Christmas I'd give back every Hefty bag of gifts that you would give us Every years worth, just to have you back here with us It's so hard to say these rhymes probably as hard as it is to listen Cause I wanna re-a**ure you, I'm down here really livin' But a life without you grandma is just a harder existence Feel like my heart's in a prison, even though I'm not alone I'm still hoping and wishin' that you'll come back home But your gone [Hook:] And I'm still down here Fighting the fear Of being alone Of being alone Still down here Holding onto the hope That you're not really gone That you'll come back home [Interlude:] Come back home, come back home [x4] [Verse 2:] You were like a gift from heaven, I know that's where you're restin' But my question: how come as I understood your lessons Did the Lord call you home before I could show you my progression Show you all the return on your investment into my blessins? But praying is stressin', the importance of a friendship The value of forgiveness, the struggle of the sinners Grandma you taught me so much but before you could finish You had to take that journey, there was no defense against it I heard you were at peace as you quietly drifted Into eternity's oceans on your way to the kingdom I hope the Lord knows all the happiness that you'll bring him I hope when you arrive the angels stand up singin' Because to me, you were heaven in a human being And around you all my agony, it really had no meaning It would all fade as I rest in the shade And the peace of your love but now you're above and I'm [Hook] [Interlude] [Verse 3:] The world's dark it's a mystery to me why he made us Everybody everywhere is filled with hatred I await the coming of a second greatness Of a savior, come and save us From ourselves, oh making the world a living hell hole You gonna feel it when the bell toll And mark the coming of a cataclysm That be the end to all your judges and your f**ing overcrowded prisons That be the end to every m**m, every Christian Every gay, every straight, politicians, all religions Maybe as the human race we don't deserve the Lord's forgiveness Maybe we were a mistake, maybe all this is a vision Just a f**ed up hallucination cause how could the Lord's creation Become an abomination, a desolate combination Of hopeless, incarcerated, starving and poverish nations The power play is keep us slavin' for minimum wages Everybody's either racist or they hate you cause you ain't that way Feel like you live in a faithless place A hopeless place, how can a man cope this way? Strange looks from my family when I spoke this way ("He needs help") Nah, homie this ain't no joke to me Cellphones dumbing you down quicker than dope these days There's a demon around every corner provokin' me I was gonna take my f**ing life but God spoke to me He said: [Outro:] *reversed* He said: "Be still my son"
