An Elegy Lyrics by The Free Design

You Could Be Born Again

0

[Verse 1]
When he went away for the last time
It wasn't so easy
Words were hard to find
And the cows in the barn knew it was milkin' time
Must have been real hard
To leave everything behind
[Verse 2]
Over there a moonless night shiverin' a secret fright
It wasn't so easy
And how many missions more and where to and what for?
Ask the government, tell it to the cows in the barn
Then there was a moon, what did the moon see?
Saw the blade of grass in one boy's eye
And pain that'll make you glad you're dyin'
[Bridge]
Hands that dribbled a basketball
Voice that sang out of tune
Love that ended too soon
A nose that bled for better reasons
[Verse 3]
When he went away for the last time
It wasn't so easy
Words were hard to find
And the cows in the barn knew it was milkin' time
It was milkin' time but he was so far away
So far away that even prayers could not reach
So, he died there
[Verse 4]
When he came back for the last time
It wasn't so easy
Words were hard to find
And we buried him before it was milkin' time
The preacher said it was alright
The Lord is my Shepherd
But I shall want to know why
