SLOW MOTION

 

 

They are moving around lively
but I don't even care
to me they're in slow motion
as I sit here in despair 

 

Don't they know I lost you?
Don't they know you're gone?
If they know all these facts
then why do they carry on?

Inside I want to scream
so they can see just what it means
to live in this horror
and wish it was all a dream
 
See they should hear my pain

As I scream out your name
so it shocks their world
so they too are not the same

But I hear a voice say to restrain
to let go of the turmoil and strain
for it won't help a heart in eternal pain
 
But they just said you're gone!
So why should I hang on
when all my hopes and dreams
are now all lost and gone?

One turn of a drunk’s wheel
was all it took to kill
the dreams we took a lifetime
to make real.

Now everything is slow motion
and I am alone in this commotion
crying tears for my angel that flew away

 

I hear a doctor say "he's dying"
and its then I stop crying
as I see you standing as a angel across the room
doctors scream and things go boom
Yet you whisper "It'll be over soon"
as you take my hand and lead me away from pain

 

I move away from the commotion
away from the screams and the emotion
Hearing words of "Don't let go!"
"Sir hold on! It's not the end!"

 

But I am beyond all their notions
of life and endless motion
My eternal eyes fixed to Heaven's light

I move into eternal life
Holding the hand of my sweet wife
Moving toward the glory of God and eternal life.
