Four Years Ago Today

Today is the anniversary

Of my brothers death

Four years ago today

God layed him down for eternal rest

Four years ago today

My family let out their cries

Four years ago today

A part of us all died

Four years ago today

I felt my heart rip apart

Four years ago to day

His eternal life would start

Tears filled our eyes

As we said our goodbyes

It was time for him to face the Lord

With all his shameful lies

I was forced to be strong

Four years ago today

I had to hold in

What my heart was dying to say

Four years ago I wanted to scream

Just to let it all out

But I was drowning in my tears

And they were enabling me to shout

Still, I’m struggling

To say goodbye

Lord, help me lift my hands

And let him fly
