junior's eyes looked up to the skies in tears
he prayed that his maker
the giver and taker
would 'pear
junior sighed
as his hands reached out to the sky
junior cried
the day that his best friend died
they're coming home again tomorrow
i'm sorry it won't be for long
with all the pain i've watched you live within
i'll try my hardest not to cry
when it is time to say goodbye
junior's eyes
they couldn't disguise the pain
his father was leaving
and junior's grieving again
innocent eyes watched the man who gave everything
junior's sorrow
knew what tomorrow would bring?
junior's eyes looked into the skies once more
now he knew well
this life was hell for sure
he desperately tried
his fingertips retched to the stars
reaching for reason
along with the time and the scars
