I once knew a boy, twenty years old,
living life, on his own, doing nothing he was told/
Hit the gym, everyday, future was on the way,
no one saw it coming, he got tired of running/
Running from something, no one can define,
the only answer to the puzzle, is locked up in his mind/
A mind misunderstood, holding it all in,
at a party Friday night, next morning caught in sin /
Experience a moment of silence,
experience violence through parents now childless,
We’ve heard stories that will remain timeless
We can’t be relying on death to remind us,
We think our lives sometimes go roughly,
well this boy’s life ended abrutply,
Griding my teeth, standing in my sleep,
hope your dream’s complete,
and you’re resting in peace.

What causes us to take our lives?
Whose choice is it to make?
Just one life is all it takes, exposing what’s at stake/
The stake between the heart
the living man will now depart,
so lonely on his own, his final stitch is sewn/
Oh brother of this Earth, please know that you are worth, more than these words can say
more than secrets more than pain/
Michael where’d the pain come from?
Tell me, what have we done?
Some may say you lost the race
but we all know you’ve won/

(I can’t believe he took his life, whose choice was it to make, just one life is all it takes, exposing what’s at stake)

Today we let a child go, today we let our crying flow,
today will mark, no not the end,
he will start a new life again,
Golden sun, this boy was one,
of a kind, he can fly, he can fly,
his memory won’t die/
Friends and family come together,
mourn the loss endure the weather/
The breeze that blew upon your face,
the breeze that came and took your place
I may not be your best of friend
but I will be here to defend/
We won’t forget our brethren, the legend, the legacy, in our hearts, you will be, in our hearts you will be, Mikey.
