October 23rd

Singing along, got the radio on
It's all okay
Rockin' out to Blue Foundation
My troubles for away

I didn't hear my mama scream
But I'm thinkin' it was loud
I didn't hear the gunshot
For that I am not proud
I pray

Lord, I feel so small somtimes
I know you make people that do these crimes
I wonder what it's like in a paradise
Where everything is oh so nice
I know you say when it's time for us to come home
But like some people say, When in Rome
You gotta try hard to keep around what you love
And Lord if you love me
You'll make me forget
October 23rd

Singing along to that same old song
Just a few years passed
People keep telling me, oh how sad
Dang, isn't this world vast?

I didn't know the time would come
To let my mama go
And every night I drop on my knees
Just to let Jesus know

Lord, I feel so small somtimes
I know you make people who do these crimes
I wonder what it's like in a paradise
Where everything is oh so nice
I know you say when it's time for us to come home
But like people say, When in Rome
You gotta try hard to keep around what you love
And Lord if you love me
You'll make me forget
October 23rd

People everywhere tell me they know just how I feel
But do they really? No they don't.
This situation just ain't real
Oh
And now I sit here in my room
On my mind, boys friends and school
But I don't got no mama to talk it through

Singing along. Yup, it's still the same song
I wish mama was here to sing too
