Walk Across - Cement City
This is a song about a dying star, who meant everything
To a guy who sits by their side, and carries their legacy
He sang a song of heartfelt remembrance, and wonders
Who he'll be... after his friend is gone
Another question gone unanswered as his friend goes under
Another day, a week, a year it seems my friend has slumbered
Looking out the window, sad, but almost happy
My friend...
Are you ready for the walk across?
On a sunny day, around him cheerful faces
It's days like this he feels the most alone and friendless
He goes to work and back with nothing on his mind
Except one thing...
So to the room he goes where his friend lies unconscious
Kept alive with wires and some unknown substance
"My friend," he says, "I know you've lived a crazy life
You did your best in everything you could
And for this I respect you, I'll live like you have lived
But honestly, I feel I'm out of life to give"
And as he left the room, he asked just one more question
"My friend...
Are you ready for the walk across?"
And out of nowhere, this man's friend was wide awake
Is this a miracle, or just some twisted fate?
He turned to face his friend with joyful, teary eyes
And said...
"Thank you, you're all I have"
His friend said, "Look, before I went I had to tell you...
To live your own life, do your own thing, and write your own story
Don't be sad I'm gone, be joyful you have life to go...
And remember...
Everything is good, and life is beautiful
It's a shame to waste your life on something trivial
So keep your head held high, and to answer your question,
Yes, I'm ready...
For the walk across...
But are you?"
