R.I.P~
Sometimes I feel the light of grace upon my face
and then there are the times I feel completely hidden
by the darkness of disgrace
Mostly I am caught between the door
separating the morning’s light from the demons
of my night
And prayers have no hold on me, no longer protects me
all I need is my music raging in my head
no more staging of the pretence
of the need to get ahead
no longer willing to pay your price
of being your nice
cause in the end
We’ll sing the very same song
R.I.P to the friends that are gone
R.E.S.P.E.C.T to those left to carry on
And all that fighting in the beginning
even with endless praying
results say, no changing the ending
So today I am going to walk into that light
demons be dammed
I ain’t afraid of what followed me
from the night
Because with or without you
there’s no stopping me
I am free, free of that which once
was the hold you had over me
All I need is the friendship of that friend
in the mirror looking right back at me
The very one I sacrificed for you so very
long ago,
now I am going let go, but this time
letting go of you before you erase
the beauty, the magic, the mirror looking
back at me
leaving of my memories, not a single trace
because in the end
We’ll sing the very same song
R.I.P to the friends that are gone
R.E.S.P.E.C.T to those left to carry on
And all that fighting in the beginning
even with endless praying
results say, no changing the ending
To all your friends I say, please carry on
I’ll tell them to keep on loving you for
however long
cause for me that’s a bridge now crossed
forever having listened to your final song
and this life of mine can no longer be
about your fading rhymes
Waking up to my own dreams saying glory
on high
as my dreams now looking
higher than the sky
I am going love for love’s sake
I am going smile for smiling sake
I am going finally have that conversation
with myself
My life is not a mistake
because in the end
We’ll sing the very same song
R.I.P to the friends that are gone
R.E.S.P.E.C.T to those left to carry on
And all that fighting in the beginning
even with endless praying
results say, no changing the ending

Dedicated to You (all of you) having fought that good fight of holding on
for change that never came, from those always having accused you
of not playing the game whose rules have long laid hidden only in their imagination.
