playing b-ball, was the most of his motto
His bro, died from a full throttle.
He's ever been mad, since that accident
people keep starin at him. His mad eyes at em'.
Since the day, he met a girl
Bought her a swirl with a lil' chocolate pearl
They became best friends
His friend name, K. J. Irene.
The most, lovely girl in school, that would be seen.
She's been
through that feelin'
she's been an orphan at the "Orphanage Sheel" and
She never, knew her family
she couldn't care less about me
Otto, one day came home, back from school
walkin' in cool,
then he saw his mom praying,
at his bed,
looking all so hanging.
the time my mom looked me in the eye
Tryin' not to cry,
tellin' me the cancer might cause her to die
Otto shouted, "How can this be!
I thought that God loved me!
So why would he
try to take my mother from me?".
And as I cry myself to sleep at night,
holding on my pillow tight
God spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright
So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused
Try to move on and I try to stay strong.
Next day, wasn't much of a day,
just that Otto, always got teary
having the fear, he
kept thinkin' that his mom might die,
like he lost his brother
now, he's losing, his mother
he never even knew, who was his father.
Irene, didn't know what was going on,
when she found out, that Otto's mom might be gone.
She talked to otto sayin' to you,
"I've been there too
When everything falls apart and the best you can do
is get through each day wonderin' will this never end?
Is it always going to be this way?
And the greatest lie you've ever been told is that
You're the only one to ever walk on this road
And that you'll never see the light of dawn, so we came together to say
Hold on
Cause I've been there and found my way home
I promise you that you're not on your own
One day this will pass, God will see us all through."
Otto never knew that it would feel like this
When the two that raised you up and call it quits
Nobody told me 'bout the emptiness
When the place you call home is closed for business
I push the pain down, I gotta "get by"
Always knowin' in my heart that thoughts ain't gonna fly
Rock bottom's never felt so near before
And if pain is God's megaphone it's loud and clear
So hold me now father, human love ain't enough
I've failed and been failed by the people I love
But your faithful arms they surround me
And any other soul who has to sail those seas
Of a broken family.
Otto, heard of a church, he thought wity.
But he needed help, he went to that place "Diverse city"
So went in,
the doorstep thin
when all of a sudden
The priest talked to him
"Up, up and away, baby we don't play,
maybe you thought you was done for the day
He said, she said, I said this,
that you can't get away from your moment of bliss
Stirring, we'll lure you in
and we'll make room for the shade of skin
Short ones, tall ones, skinny ones, bigger,
love is the gun and we pullin' that trigger
So you send me and I'll send you hope in the form of a new taboo."
He saw Irene, praying to God,
closing her eyes, like there might be a flood.
The priest, told him have faith,
your brother, Dwaith is in heaven, looking at you
he always prayed and he wants you to do it too.
A preacher knew what was wrong
he told them that if not praying,
your mom might be gone.
Otto now understood, that what he would
The preacher continued,
"You bring the heart, I'll bring the soul
I'll bring the flag, you bring the pole
We'll fly it high so the whole world knows
The dream of a king 'bout to unfold"
Otto saw the light, and knew he needed to spread
the word of God, not lieng in bed.
He prayed, so much 'till the day came
the cancer took the shame
Otto 'bout to blame, but
he went to his senses, as he saw mom
went inside the ambulance benches
Otto kept prayin' and prayin'.
The doctor called, told him his mom was okay and
Ottos heart felt glad
but thinkin' 'irene, made his heart feel bad.
he thank God for everything he's been through,
till the next time, something new.
He shall spread God's word,
have you ever heard?
Such strong nerves.
He will help his friend Irene
no matter what takes will mean...
