Gonna Be Alright!
I wanted to end my life, contemplating suicide,
'cause I was in prison when both of my parents died.
I din't know what to do, I had no motivation.
Wanted to cut my wrists, part of suicidal ideation.
I've prayed and prayed, and He heard my prayer.
I heard a voice. Sounded like Mom was there.
Then I started thinking about what she wanted me to do.
Kept hearing her say, "I'm still proud of you!"
I felt like I let her down, felt like she wasn't proud.
Now, every time I'm outside, I put my head to the clouds,
knowing that's where she's at, once again with my dad.
All I have are the memories, the phone calls we've had.
The times I made her laugh, all the letters I wrote,
how much I loved them, comforting a heart that's broke.
A weight lifted off my shoulders when I said goodbye.
She had to hear me 'cause tears formed in her eyes.
I know she's no longer having heartache and no more pain.
Never forgetting my parents, their spirit runs through my veins.
My mom came to me and told me not to give up.
When you fall, dust yourself off and keep you head up.
I don't think I'll ever be able to erase the heartache.
My parents died while I was in prison, a memory I can't shake.
But joy came to me when I was weeping all night.
My mom and dad told me to rise up! Everything's gonna be alright!
