I WONDER WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT
SOMETIMES QUIET, OTHER TIMES IT SHOUTS
WHEN THINGS ARE GOING GREAT
SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MAKE YOU HATE
DOWN YOU FALL, ONE MORE TIME
HOW MUCH CAN I TAKE RUNS THROUGH MY MIND
THEN ALONG COMES A KID YOU KNOW
HE THINKS NO ONE LOVES HIM, AND IT SHOWS
HERE COMES THAT GIRL CHILD, STRUNG OUT ON SPEED
I TAKE HER IN, TO SEE WHAT SHE NEEDS
FRIENDS, SO MANY HAVE DIED VIOLENTLY
HOW HAS DEATH REALLY MISSED ME?
THE PAIN, THE LOSS GOES ON AND ON
YOU THINK IT'S OVER, NOT!!
THERES DEATH ON THE RUN
RUNNING SO FAST TOWARD CHILDREN AND FRIENDS
WHEN WILL THE HORROR EVER END?
THE DEVIL OUT SCOPING FOR NEW SOULS TO TAKE
WHAT KIND OF DEAL WILL HE MAKE?
THEN YOUR OWN CHILD IS TAKEN AWAY
YOUR WORLD STOPPED ON THIS DAY
THINKING, THINKING, WHAT DID I DO
WHY WASN'T IT ME INSTEAD OF YOU?
NOW ALONE I WANT TO BE
WHILE ALL THE MEMORIES RUSH TOWARDS ME
OF ALL THE PEOPLE I'VE KNOWN IN MY LIFE
WHO CAME TO ME, LEFT FOOTPRINTS THROUGH MY MIND
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU,HAVE TAUGHT ME
TO LOVE
TO HATE
TO CARE
TO FEEL COMPASSION
TO FEEL FEAR
TO FEEL PROUD
MADE ME SAD
MADE ME GLAD
MADE ME SMILE
MADE ME CRY
GAVE ME STRENGTH
GAVE ME HOPE
GAVE ME SADNESS
GAVE ME FRIENDSHIP
BUT EVERY FOOTPRINT YOU LEFT
MADE ME GROW IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER
AND I THANK YOU FOR PASSING THROUGH MY LIFE....
THE BOOK "FOOTPRINTS THROUGH MY MIND"
DEDICATED IN LOVING MEMORY OF JOEY
WHO MOST OF YOU KNEW
WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY YOU
AND I THANK YOU FOR EACH AND EVERY
FOOTPRINT YOU LEFT
WHETHER IT WAS A GOOD ONE
OR A BAD ONE
IT WILL FOREVER BE
A FOOTPRINT THROUGH MY MIND...
EACH ONE MADE BY YOU........
