    Sitting on a park bench People pass by and I wonder who's next


    Thinking about a friend of mine Who determines, who knows best
    He was only twenty three Is there a lesson I'm supposed to learn in this case
    Gone before he had his time Ignorance is not bliss
    It came without a warning
    Didn't want his friends to see him cry Have you ever watched your best friend die
    He knew the day was dawning Have you ever watched a grown man cry
    And I didn't have a chance to say goodbye Some say that life isn't fair
    In this life I loved you most of all. What for? I say that people just don't care
    'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myself They'd rather turn the other way
    What for? What for? And wait for this thing to go away
    Driving down the boulevard
    Why do we have to pretend
    Thinking about a man I knew Some day I pray it will end
    He was like a father to me I hope it's in this life
    Nothing in the world that he wouldn't do I hope it's in this life time
    Taught me to respect myself
    He said that we're all made of flesh and blood
    Why should he be treated differently
    Shouldn't matter who you choose to love
