It was just a month ago When my body failed me My body failed me Then I received a phone call From my daddy His body failed Him Too What are we to do? It was like the sky fell All around us All around us And a billion stars They lost their brightness We lost our brightness It was so dark It was so Dark It was like the candle It burned from both ends I tried to stop it Then It lit my chest up I poured my heart out I felt so much love And then the birds came They took my dad away It was so quiet Then The world just came alive My mama came alive My brother came alive That's how my daddy lived The birds they wanted him They knew he'd help them fly
