Red Rose

(album: All I've Been Through - 2016)

She was so young, innocent
That it don't make sense, what's the reason for this
God, if you got a plan then tell me what it is
Cause I'm lost, look, all I want to know is
Why the memories, why the guillotine
Feels like my head's been severed is killing me
And then turn around try to put all my faith in you
The one that took her from us, I won't lie it was hard
I still got scars won't heal never will
Look every year there's another January the 5th
I take another sip, sit and reminisce
And when I get down I remember this

I know you're in heaven now
You're smiling as your looking down
You'll always be a part of me
I still miss you and I still believe
The good lord has a bigger plan
I'm beginning to understand
Why he chose you
I guess god needs a red rose too

Yeah, good times we had a few
As I sit and cry I think
If I only knew I would have kissed you
And told you I loved you that morning before I left to go to school
But I didn't
Now I'm reminiscing
It's January the 22nd, you should have been 21
My, how time flies
I got a daughter and a son now
Got my girl your middle name
I showed them pictures of you and told them you loved them the same as me
It's plain to see
Even at the age of 3
Both of them know exactly what the meaning of Megan means
Cause even after all this time, you're still my light
That light that shines leading my way

I know you're in heaven now
You're smiling as your looking down
You'll always be a part of me
I still miss you and I still believe
The good lord has a bigger plan
I'm beginning to understand
Why he chose you
I guess god needs a red rose too

Yeah, you know
There's comes a point in everyone's life where you feel like giving up
But there's times like these that I think about my sister
And know it don't get too bad
Because the pain, the hurt, the tears, the years
Without her with me here on earth
Wondering when will I see her again knowing

I know you're in heaven now
You're smiling as your looking down
You'll always be a part of me
I still miss you and I still believe
The good lord has a bigger plan
I'm beginning to understand
Why he chose you
I guess god needs a red rose too
