Lyrics

Keep the family on track
It's like that and that's a fact
You better stop with that
I'm about to bust a rap
Alberto he had a daughter
He had a partner too
They didn't work out
All that they been through
He met another woman
And raised kids with her
One was named AnnaBelle
She had a big sister
That was her half sister
And when she lived with her
There was a lot of tension
Her sister big bitter
He was my daddy first
You not my real sister
What was the deal with her
Anna had to deal with her
A blended family
But nonetheless a family
There were some ups and downs
Like every other family
See no family deserves
To be torn apart
No matter the dynamic
How cold is your heart
Her name was AnnaBelle
Daddy's little girl
And on the holidays
She's Santas little elf
And on the summer days
They kicked the ball around
Spring forward to 12 years old
She learned the world was cold
She was from Minnesota
Think she'd already know
Mama where'd daddy go
Dad went to California
For a couple months
That's what AnnaBelle was told
A couple turned into three
Then three turned into four
Four turned into more
Guess this was set in stone
Her parents separated
They never hesitated
To think twice about
How it'd affect the ages
18 year old moved out
16 year old was drinking
14 year old coped with friends
She left her room vacant
The baby don't listen
Mama can't calm her down
Anna was 12 years old
She kept her phone around
See no family deserves
To be torn apart
No matter the dynamic
How cold is your heart
Now here goes the part
We didn't see coming
Her name was AnnaBelle
She didn't see it coming
Anna was 13
Lives with her daddy now
He's back in Minnesota
Dodge Center was the town
She say it's hard to force a smile
When you were not around
Things were a little off at first
But they found common ground
This was the dynamic
Of the household
Anna and her younger siblings
With them, AnnaBelle was close
Mama she's not around
Remember they separated
But dad brung his first daughter
And she seemed to be his focus now
That was her half sister
Anna just didn't get her
Her sister big bitter
Nonetheless lived with her
Anna she had a boyfriend
She couldn't see him though
See Anna she was grounded
Dad said give me the phone
Anna she had school
AnnaBelle needs a ride
Her daddy dropped her off
He looked here in the eyes
He said I love you Anna
He said I'll see you, bye
Anna she left the car
She didn't speak or try
Daddy watched Anna walk
AnnaBelle went inside
Alberto drove off
Let out a decent sigh
The type of sigh you do
When you're thinking why?
The type of sigh you do
When the police arrive
And pull up at your side
Licenses and registration
Alberto buying time
The cop, he grows impatient
Alberto he complied
Alberto stretched a lie
Than to go back
Alberto would rather die
Its May 21st
Friday morning sucks
AnnaBelle's eating breakfast
Berto feels like throwing up
Now here goes the part
Where you would need a favor
Officer looks at Berto
Alberto he needs a savior
Now here goes the part
When we say see you later
Not only ain't have his ID
He didn't have his papers
Wilbur County Jail
For over Two months
Deported back to Mexico
Anna eats her school lunch
At school Anna laughs
At home Anna cries
I love you AnnaBelle
She didn't speak or try
See no family deserves
To be torn apart
No matter the dynamic
How cold is your heart
That's the system for you
Heart as cold as ice
You couldn't fix the system
Even if it sits in rice
But life moves on
Never stops moving on
Some pain will stay with you
Until your tombstone
We eat our family meals
We pray to Jesus Christ
We hope that time will heal
But there's always the plate of pie
Life it can humble you
Can't get too comfortable
You can't relate to pain
Until it comes to you
Fast forward to 15
She had a Quincenara
If her parents were still together
The day would be even better
Fast forward to 17
She's on a plane now
Talking to a stranger
Pouring all her pains out
Sun Country Airlines
She sat in zone Three
Row 11, seat B
Her sister sat in C
And as for seat A
The stranger, he was me
He looks at life different
A stranger, he don't see
I take a piece of you
You take a piece of me
I take it to the stu and put it on a beat
I take a piece of you
You take a piece of me
I take it to the world
And then the choir sings
I rode on a plane with AnnaBelle
Ain't nothing mistaken, can't you tell
I see no strangers in my world
No man, woman, boy, or girl
A million places I could've been
Any other day that she could've flown
But we aligned with the same airline
Exact same row
And I was almost late to my terminal
I gotta go
The boarding time is 8:09
See there's a story I gotta find
It's the story of AnnaBelle
I gotta tell it
I gotta tell it
I gotta tell it
It's the story of AnnaBelle
I gotta tell it
I gotta tell it
I gotta tell it
I wrote on a plane
I wrote on a plane with AnnaBelle
Ain't nothing mistaken, can't you tell
I see no strangers in my world
No man, woman, boy, or girl
A million places I could've been
Any other day that she could've flown
If I wasn't meant to tell her story
That would mean I meant to
Tell me what would it mean
I rode on a plane with AnnaBelle
Ain't nothing mistaken, can't you tell
I see no strangers in my world
No man, woman, boy, or girl
A million places I could've been
Any other day that she could've flown
If I wasn't meant to tell her story
That would mean I meant to tell my own
When the world begins to sink
And the bells begin to ring
We will ride on the wings
Then that choir will form and sing
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle
When I boarded the plane
Out the window there was rain
I said hello to a stranger
She told me her name
The bells are ringing now
The bells are ringing now
The bells are ringing now
The bells are ringing now
The bells are ringing now
The bells are ringing now
The bells are ringing now
The bells are ringing now
When the world begins to sink
And the bells begin to ring
We will ride on the wings
Then that choir will form and sing
Get the family back on track
