May

It was a dark night, when I heard the news Rolled up my sleeves and walked Like a landslide, overly abused Yet told myself to call Yes my mother, vaguely confused She told me not to bawl Bawl my eyes, 'cause my eyes are red With nothing left at all So I get there, my composure Head quickly for the door And yet alarm bells ring, maybe not enough Frequent the lady called Called me, your grandmother, I loved her so much more Than nobody else, left on this earth I'm in this state of roar As we marched through the madness April was unclear Suddenly it turned to sadness Hopes turned into fears And it was May, it was May, it was May, it was May Guess it was a day, the day of reckoning Six feet beneath the soil Yet we held on, held each other tight With standards soon to storm 'Cause we're here now Yes we're here now Moments like this are raw It's my family tree planting it's roots stronger than before As we marched through the madness April was unclear Suddenly it turned to sadness Hopes turned into fears And it was May, it was May, it was May, it was May You left You left Without a chance to say Without a chance to say goodbye at all A chance to say goodbye at all As we marched through the madness April was unclear Suddenly it turned to sadness Hopes turned into fears And it was May, it was May, it was May, it was May
