"MY BEAUTIFUL CAREFREE ROBIN"

I SAW A ROBIN FLYING IN THE WIND
SO CAREFREE AND AT PEACE
AND I THOUGHT OH LOVELY BIRD
DO YOU FEEL PAIN AS I DO
YES THAT KIND THAT DOES NOT CEASE

YOUR SUCH A COLORFUL CREATION
THAT FLIES AND SOARS AROUND ENDLESSLY
I WONDER IF I TRADED PLACES WITH YOU
NO MORE PAIN WOULD I SEE

SO CLOSE TO THE BILLOWING CLOUDS
RIGHT UP THERE BY HEAVEN'S DOOR
MAYBE IF I COULD CLIMB HIGH IN THE SKY
THIS LONLINESS & PAIN COULDN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE

THEN I HEARD A POP! POP!
LIKE THE SOUND OF A FIRECRACKER ON JULY
AND I SAW MY BEAUTIFUL CAREFREE ROBIN
FALL DOWN TO THE COLD HARD GROUND & DIE

PEOPLE ONCE AGAIN CAUSING PAIN TO OTHERS
NOT CARING ABOUT THE AFFLICTION OR THE OUTCOME
SELF PLEASURES MIXED WITH POWER & INSANITY
WITH NO REMORSE FOR WHAT THEY HAD DONE


I BURIED MY FRIEND SO LIFELESS & LIMP
AND THANKED GOD FOR HIS MERCIFUL GRACE
THAT BEING SOMEONE ELSE IS NOT THE REAL ANSWER
FOR LOOK WHERE I WOULD BE IF I HAD TAKEN MY ROBIN'S PLACE

LIFE IS FULL OF HURTS & SORROWS
BUT LONLINESS DOESN'T FIT GOD'S PLAN
FOR JESUS CHRIST IS THERE FOR ME
WITH A LOVING OUT STRETCH HAND

COME TO ME MY CHILD
YOUR HEART'S DESIRE I'LL PROVIDE
JUST LIVE YOUR LIFE IN ME
KNOW I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE BY YOUR SIDE

I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE GIFT OF CHOICE
TO BRING ALL THOSE BAD FEELIN TO AN END
AND THEN I WILL FILL YOU WITH ALL MY LOVE
ANEW AND FRESH YOU CAN START OVER AGAIN

SO WEEP NOT FOR THE BEAUTIFUL ROBIN
FOR HE IS NOW AT HOME WITH ME
GIVE PRAYER TO THE LOST SOUL, THE KILLER
FOR BY HIS ACTIONS HIS FATE IS EASY TO SEE

LONLINESS GIVES BIRTH TO PAIN
WHEN ONE FEELS THERE IS NO ONE ELSE
BUT I AM HERE WITH YOU ALWAYS
NEVER SHALL YOU BE AGAIN BY YOURSELF

SO LOOK TO THE HEAVEN'S ABOVE
AND TO THE NEXT BEAUTIFUL ROBIN THAT YOU'LL SEE
THEN STOP AND REMEMER I TAKE CARE OF ALL I CREATED
AND THAT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE THROUGH ME
