lyrics

Today I watched my cousin cry / a boy he knew today had died / resting at the ocean floor / they found him there / today I had a sudden thought / life is short / and I had forgot / I hugged my friends / and I called my mother / and I pondered in the face of death / would I stand and cry / like a deer caught in the headlights / would I stand there frozen / afraid for those / He had not chosen / today I caught up on the news / and saw just how this world concludes / it’s not so violent as once might think / it’s innocence that sends us off to sleep / today my mind was overcome / with choices made / and lovers gone / and I had to think / what would I do / if I ever lost / anyone of whom / I call my family / I’d be terrified of not saying goodbye / before all of the endings / had happened right there in my eyes / today I realized / something new I never had known / when I talk I don’t really speak / I don’t say what I really mean / today I thought / if my last words / to anyone / who might have heard / were vicious well / what kind of man / could I call myself then / today I watched my cousin cry / a boy he knew / today had died / and I only thought / of what it means / to be family / in the thick of things.
