Father, Dad, Daddy,
You sent me to this free for all forsaken place that you call yours to die for these people,
They owe everything, and I owe nothing, Dad this isn't fair,
This is your love not mine to share,
You made these people, and they disobey you, not me,
Why do I have to be the one sent to set them free,
They know no love and they know not of your will,
They don't love you, they're only out to lie and they're only out to kill,
What makes you think I'm ready to do what you're asking me to do,
I've walked this field all night in an attempt to think this through,
I don't know what you're thinking dad, but this is your will not mine,
But with my body broken and blood for wine,
I will do what you asked of me,
I'm going to set this place free.

When forever ends
Two more years until we walk out in our gowns throw up our caps
Pack our mini vans and kiss our parents goodbye in our crowded dorm,
Somehow we all know your future is a huge gray area and doesn't include mini vans,
Or happy college acceptance letters
Whenever I look at our old class pictures I remember
that time when we thought of teenagers as unattainable gods of the earth,
Reality sinks in farther with the talk of college vists and SATs,
but somehow easy as cakework I fall into the steady memories,
It was my ninth birthday and we just blew out the candles on my cake, We were bestfriends
Highschool brought a new meaning to best friends forever,
My mind blows foreward faster than time has, and we're finally thirteen
We're teenagers and we rush for everything to go faster,
We never knew that was the last time we'd all be close as we were then
I still have the pictures, and I still remember that night,
As we grow older and we all dicover Drugs, alcohol, and Jesus
we don't talk like we did then, our new cliques have strong wedges of silence,
While we all stand together every morning before the bell,
we never have the same weekend stories,
and you had to be there moments aren't as funny when no one here was there
We have one thing in common though, that story of the day I started in this new scary state,
The first day you came over to my house, sharing of family tragady,
While I don't think we're as close as we were then, never forget I love you,
We'll always be best friends
