• You need to know that you’re missed
    Although your name won’t be on a graduation list
    Now is a time for reflection
    Oh what a selection
    I’ll never forget the time we shared
    When we thought no one cared
    Hanging out in the parking lot
    The night you got shot
    It hurt a lot
    We never fought and rarely got caught
    Sneaking in and out
    With our head’s free of doubt
    But man can our parents shout
    Things got worse as if it were some sort of curse
    The night my best friend rode in a hearse
    After that night
    People were changed and life’s rearranged
    To the world it was just another random act of violence
    To bad our voices were silenced
    Now the world is one big scare
    How is that fair?
    Not as many people care
    It’s my turn to share
    The world forgot you
    I can never forget
    I wish you were here
    Just to have you near
    Your memory is so dear
    I promise not to live in fear
