Please don't take my baby cousin Don't take a life before it starts and I know there's is dirt inside his blood stream I just hope you're in his heart For Dean we prayed for God to save him We prayed to keep him in the light Too strong to feel the clock was ticking Two months too weak to win the fight (We are more than the flesh that binds us To look past the skin and scarring years What's left behind is just a heap of muscle The heart gives in to decay and disappears) Everybody was praying for him But every body ends up in the ground Even wolves will die with voices calling To a moon that shines, but never makes a sound Now tears are swelling from his mother And years are passing by like sand He'll hold on to each breath of fire And I'll hold on to his hand The meters rang a tone like silence The room trembled like the voice That called the time That said his name That treated death and sin the same To all his friends To love his life To make a mark before he died To feel the force Of words like "death" For every count of every breath I loved the way He said goodbye And I prayed everyday And he laid in the grave We praised anyway
