Goodroad: Watch and Listen

I talked to a friend Sarah when she came home from vacation and she told me the story of how upon returning to Sioux Falls she recieved a text message that a friend who was mixed up in drugs had hung himself, followed by a voicemail that another friend, who drove home after drinking, had passed away in an accident as well. I took the things Sarah had said and the feelings she expressed and they led to the song Run.

I got the news
That I lost two
How could this happen to me
One to drug,
One to drink
What do I do now I cant think

Should I run
Or hide
Should I ask the Lord to lift me up
And fill me inside
I’m scared, and I’m tried
Why is this pain
The way I’m defined
All I want to be is okay
But I guess that wont happen today

he was so young
he lost his way
now the road to where he lives
has a saint in it’s name
he was so smart
not tonight
he said don’t worry guys
I’ll be alright

You know that I’m mad
You see that I’m sad
I’m so broken inside
You see that I cry
Now please tell me why
I never got to say goodbye
