lyrics

He was a young man
He had it all figured out
Then one day it came crashing down

He knew that was everything was falling apart
He thought he could save it all
From ruin

Little did he know that
The worst things happen at the best time
Little did he know that

The blood of a savior
The mind of a hero
The unspoken words
That could have changed time

Killed by the fear
Of self-righteous cowards
Every pure soul
Is waiting to die

Stepped out of the door
Of his one-room apartment
Planning on attending
A convention of sorts

He looked up to see a strange
Man in black clothing
The bullet found its way
Straight into his heart

The way the grass bends in the wind
Never again
The deep rays of sunshine at sunrise through the mountains at dawn
Never again
The golden leaves twitching and twirling and falling and dying to brown
Never again
I wish I could have just one final goodbye moment
Reach for the sky hoping
Please stay alive dammit
Why do we die

Then the memories fade, nothing in sight
I cross the mountains and welcome the light
I welcome the light

I found home
(He was a young man, he had it all figured out)
I made it home
(He was a young man, he had it all by himself)
I don't need nobody else
Cause I got myself
(He didn't need nobody else)
And I found home right here
I got home
Right here
