I just shared the news with a teary eye
Then I walked outside and looked up to the dreary sky
It’s not often I let the whole world hear me cry
I reached out for God, to keep me from drowning further
after every single story I read
As the east coast just suffered through a flood
and it’s still raining in my head
This time I’m trying to stay clean, but I keep falling in the mud
There’s a deluge in the Lone Star State
The rivers have not even crested
Broken hearts, broken souls create
new bonds over the peacefully rested
We just talked the other day
Never thought in a million years,
My words of encouragement
would be the last words I’d ever get to say
to you before you were stolen away
It was the ultimate price to pay
For no reason
My world abruptly turned dark
I feel like we need an ark
How else are we going to weather this rainy season?
My dear friend, I know you’re looking down seeing us all upset
We’re trying to fulfill your dream you didn’t get to live yet
You’re never forgotten
For every sacrifice you gave away
Your legacy lives through your gift of music every single day

You can feel the fury from the east coast
I think about our enemy
Let justice turn him into Texas Toast
Please don’t feed him for life
For his jealousy and hidden strife
For the pain we felt after hearing the news on the phone
I wish every fan, every follower could line up with a stone
Give it a nice hard throw
Give him torture, let him suffer nice and slow
On his way to hell
Why does he deserve to dwell?
Even if it is in a cell?
I wish the enemy nothing but the worst
for quenching his irrational, evil thirst
God, I know you tell us to turn the other cheek
But, how can we not feel enraged after losing someone so dear?
Do you know what we’ve been going through this past week?
I hope you do, this just added to the struggle we’ve endured this past year
My dear friend, I know you’re looking down seeing us angry in the unclear
We’re trying to fulfill your dream, you know we’re right here
You’re never forgotten
For every sacrifice you gave away
Your legacy lives through your gift of music every single day

As I let this fire inside me continue to burn
When will I learn?
Feeling sorry for myself
Will never give you justice, will never give you that proper turn
To have your name in lights
I promise you, there’s still a reason for all those sleepless nights
Nothing will ever go in vain
God knows we can all come together and
turn something beautiful out of all our pain
Wish I could still share with you anything you wanted to know
Just to see you succeed, just to see you grow
We helped plant a seed, I know you’re smiling down on us for every show
I’ll help carry on your vision
We have to make it through
We’ve only begun the incision
Your legacy will be held high, side by side with only a chosen few
Today, we turn our pain into something new
My dear friend, I know you’re looking down seeing us working relentlessly in your name
We’re trying to fulfill your dream, we will see you on the TV, this time with the proper fame
You’re never forgotten
For every sacrifice you gave away
Your legacy lives through your gift of music every single day
