High Note Lyrics by Mark Manthei

0

High Note
Everything that a young man could ever want
Everything that a young man could ever claim
Was the rock on which he bled
That became his symphony of shame
All that prayed beside his grave
Were silenced back from where they came
They poured sugar on were he laid
A grain for every high note that he sang
On the day of his highest honour yet
Came news from a Grammy honor roll
All of the music that he sold
Had turned his ashes into gold
The world could never be the same
On the day that his fathers bullets rang
Another life gunned down in vein
Became our symphony of shame
Bridge
So take one last look at tenderness
Now that there is nothing left inside
A good long wave good bye Marvin Gaye
His eyes are now closed way to tight
For a note, for a note that was not that high
And he would reach
The heavens high
And spread sugar
On every note we cried
