Picking Out a Casket
They say I'll be
picking out a casket by end of day
watching your life as it drains away
seeing my best friend die today
unless
/\/\/\/\
We fight
with all our might to slow down time
beat the odds just one more time
knowing everything is on the line
for us
/\/\/\/\
I don't want to
see the pain you're suffering
watch your smile grow paper-thin
tell your Mom 'I failed him'
today
/\/\/\/\
Please help me
find the cure he needs
catch the man who did the deed
save the day with lightning speed
this time
/\/\/\/\
I can't lose
the man who makes life a ride
the brother who's saved my sorry hide
the friend who's right there at my side
always
/\/\/\/\
I don't know
quite how time slowed down
as we rushed and chased all over town
but miracle granted, a cure was found
this day
/\/\/\/\
I won't be
picking out a casket for your funeral
or making that dreaded final call
or losing my best friend after all
Hurray!
