This is "inspired" by recent events. A family friend, that we considered as family, passed away after a 2 and a half year battle with Lung Cancer. He'd been given the all-clear and was told he had beat it, but it had spread to both lungs and his stomach. The mistake of the Hospital cost him his life, but I do not address that in this track. ReuM encouraged me to put out a track, to release the emotion and feelings, but if I'm honest the lyrics do more justice to my emotions than the actual delivery. So here you go:

Lyrics:
Cold wind biting more bitter in the winter,
But you still haven't changed not one bit since I,
last seen you, last time I was in your presence,
never did I foresee I would face this severance
You hid it so well you kept it concealed
And when we were down you changed how we feel
You kept our spirits up when it should be in reverse
And when I last said goodbye I couldn't see you in a hearse
But a little while on look at where we stand
Time slipped by and we couldn't stop the sand
Reminiscing bout your life, remembering memories
No longer individual just one whole entity
You were like my second father and I was your second son,
Nothing I would rather than see you checking up,
On how I was doing, how my little sister was,
She too young to realise just what she's gone and lost
But nope not me I realise and I felt it
Thought I could stop emotion, seize it and shelf it
But standing in this church hearin' speeches and these poems
The tears start to pour and I'm proud to say I know him
You've left way to soon and this is why I question God
I'm not ashamed to admit it, cos well I was
Love and family, friends and rivals
Central themes all throughout the book of Bible
Talk and talk this ain't bout me,
Left behind a great family,
I'm not doin' this selfishly,
I just gotta say you mean the world to me,
I'll dedicated all I do, everything I write,
I swear I won't dwell but I will this night
I shed tears I never thought I owned,
But I did when I saw you standing at the Lord's throne
You deserve Heaven but you more entitled to life
I'll do all I can to make your daughter all right
They feelin' the hurt too, but they'll stay strong
I mean you influenced us all for oh so long
We know you want us happy, you'd say go get a drink
But I thought I'd be composed not held over the brink
