You had it all planned out
You and him together in a big white house
Happy ever after's all you dreamed about
Nothing could be better 'cause
You knew that you could make it through
Any weather, but
Things changed when he moved away
You were all by yourself
Through the lonely days
All you could do was pray
Then the phone call came
(I think we're heading separate ways)
Your heart stopped
And you dropped to your knees
God why
Is all this happening to me, I
Understand everything's not perfect
But you're there through the worst of it
And Lord, I hear you say
Tonight
Let every tear you cry
And everything wrong inside
Bring you to me
So I can make it right
'Cause even in the hardest times
You only need to realize
What you mean to me
So let me be your lullaby
I knew a boy from the Southside
Him and his friend were inseparable
Hung out all day
Watched football games
Wherever one went the other would go
But one night he got a phone call
Something happened that brought tears to his face
There was an accident
We tried to save your friend
But it was too late
You say
Why is all this happening
I just lost my only friend
I need to know
I'm not alone
I can hear you gently whisper
They say if life gives you lemons
Make lemonade
'Cause bittersweet is the tune
That it likes to play
We're all instruments
Played on a different day
Like a symphony
Like a symphony
We're born married into life
And there's no divorce
Sometimes we're powerless
To change the course
And when the innocent pay the cost
We all mourn the loss
We all mourn the loss
