bars for a brother

looking up for the young brave astronaut

give it up for the young brave astronaut

I know that you're busy but any time you got,

God please make a visit,

To the young brave astronaut, x2

 

when he got home his family in wait,

15, greeted with the deepest of pain,

the first time ive ever seen him in an emotional state,

toughts about his mom with a needle in her vain,

it was other people that had led her astray,

i wanna lift the pain from his nan and take it away,

this story could be told in so many ways,

he was angry because she didnt bring him up,

she would have been there is it wasnt for the drugs,

i only met her once innocent and sweet,

a good life taken by a substance on the street,

the thing that breaks you down before making its attack,

taking his mothers life, he cant get back,

leaving him with something he cannot run away from,

looking at the stars and thinking of his mother,

this is for that one true friend i see as my brother,

 

A habit she never wanted,

A pain she needed numbing,

look bruv i wana help your tears stop running,

your a brother, this is real not bluffing,

shes looking down on a family she should be proud,

keep doing what you are and shes sure to be wowed,

your all so strong, no one ever says it, so im saying it now,

wishing he could open the door an let her in,

but knowing she cant come,

we say no to drugs, but sadley the damage is done,

 

She builds a rocket out of stars in her spoon,

Straps up, the only way to make it to the moon,

Dear god, I hope you haven't forgotten,

this precious life that was taken too soon,
