I started writing this when I tragically lost my best friend and guitar player extrodinaire . It took me 13 years to finish. i just recently felt I could add the parts that I did and make it a song worthy of the attempted contents
Lyrics
Out of all the people in the whole wide world,
Why did it have to be him
Why were his chances so slim
And the Angel at his door
Out of all the fools that we’ll never need
Why was it him you called
Why did he have to fall
Through our fingers back to you
But now he’s free to ride the stallions through the prairies in the sky
And he’s free to ride forever with his Father at his side
Why has an answer that we’ll never know
As long as we’re alive
As long as we survive
We’ll never see the other side
Out of all the sorrow that I’ve ever felt
This one hurts the most
An innocent life was lost
But his memory will never die
Now he’s free to ride the stallions through the prairies in the sky
And he’s free to ride forever with his Father a t his side
And he’s free to let his hair blow as he races across the sky
And he’s free to take the love from us here on the other side
Though his life was like a lightning bolt .It burst then it was gone
You could feel the heat and percussion, then the warmth of a risen sun
Though our eyes may never see him again he lives and you will see
He’ll pick you up when you feel defeated, dangle dreams where you can see
Out of all the people in the whole wide world
Why did it have to be him
Why were his chances so slim
And the Angel at his door
Why has an answer that we’ll never know
As long as we survive, as long as we’re alive
We’ll never see the other side
HE’S FREE HE’S FREE HE’S FREE
HE’S FREE
