I Gotta Stay

all aboard I heard em call your name I knew you got your ticket now you’re on your way and it was hard to watch you wave goodbye I write you here and there
with no need to reply it’s just I lost a good friend in a time of need like
forever would be better but this time your free hate you left us kind of selfish just to think that way you going home don’t worry what you probably
would say but yeah it hurts I smile at the thought u at peace in your mind no longer ache in your heart finishing star rising sun finally hear you father and
sir & we’re done I strive to be half of what u was I’m just hoping that I can
carry on your love and I regret all the times I had to leave you I promise Ima
see you when I see you.
I told her you should go home its better that way I wish I could come with you
but I got to stay? but I got to stay? but I got to stay
Your motherly hands used to usher Sunday mornings played the tambourine so well
reminiscing on my granddaddy shed tears as you look at his pictures on the
shelf phone ringing everyday friends gone away wishing u could go but you had
to stay I sit and cried with you soon the villains of the past aware one day
that you pack your bags turn to me and ask don’t fret when I leave this earthly
body of mine done did all of its deeds crawled till it walked and held all it could breathe carry on what I taught you was given thru HE to you from me in times like this believe I got a call like you used to get just the other day
they told me you’d gone home to stay
I told her you should go home its better that way I wish I could come with you
but I got to stay? but I got to stay? but I got to stay
Now I know what you meant when you used to say if I had wings, wings,
wings I’d fly away I’d fly away
Lord, if I had wings, wings, wings I’d fly away I’d fly away
I told her you should go home it’s better that way I wish I could come with you
but I got to stay? but I got to stay? but I got to stay
