Ballad of Benjamin

There he was on a blood stained road, In the freezing cold 16 years old His name was ben, He was just a boy walking home. Ben was young his life was on the way, And now school is finally done and he would easily get the grades, So ben was just a boy, Walking home. But then they came running through the night, 3 boys in the dark wearing hoods holding knives and they see ben, On his own, Walking home. And so a 16 year old boy lays down, In the dark, Far too young to fight or run He stood no chance, Ben will feel the cold of steel inside his lungs and his heart There i was on a blood stained road, In the freezing cold, 16 years old, And i saw you, On your own, Walking home. And i was there when you fell to your knees, And i held you in my arms and we collapsed upon the street, And i said ben, Don't you worry son i'm gonna take you home. And i was there i swear i tried i tried my best, To stop the bleeding from the holes in your chest, And i screamed ben, Please just stay awake, I gotta get you home And so two 16 year old boys layed down on the road, And i was scared i screamed ben don't you dare leave me here, On my own You and i were side by side when your eyes finally closed There we were, On a blood stained road, In the freezing cold 16 years old, Ben and i we were only boys, Walking home.
