goodbye grandpa

Twist and turn as the light go out Lights and sirens up the highway as the world goes south His eyes closed but he knows and he moves his mouth Tries to say goodbye but the words won't come out To the rest of us at home It's an ordinary night Live our lives oblivious to our neighbours' lives As they turn the ox' to 10 and he fights for his life And his family gather round and they cry and they cry Then the doctor shakes his head "Nothing more we can do" But they still want all the tests Even though it's no use Where you born and where you die We don't get to choose And we wonder where his soul gonna journey to And he wonders too After all he's been through Whether life was what was promised or if he'd been duped And I wonder if all the petty things that mattered to you Is what matters when you drift away and face the truth? And I wonder about the good times that we shared And I wonder who'd be there or who'd even care Not your boss, not your bank, not your shiny career So why do we spend so much on what disappears? So why do we spend so much on what disappears? So why do we spend so much on what disappears? So why do we spend so much on what disappears? 2AM at the hospital bed Machines beep and he groans so they give him more meds They try to make him swallow But he chokes on them Is it time to say goodbye? But I can't let go yet My aunt holds a vigil and my uncle repents Cos they wonder if their sins caused these current events I pray God bless them both They never leave his bed Cos God I can't bear to see him hurting like this Frail, pale and suffering All the family worrying Doctors always hurrying Don't ever get to talk to them Hospital always bustling No-one got time to listen And that doctor's only 18 How could he comfort them? We already lost my sister, man Guilt, shame carrying Wanna do the best for them But letting go is best for him Be strong for my cousins But behind the scenes I'm crying fam Maybe I should have flown there and been there by his side But there's a time to live And a time to die And we know Grandma waiting on the other side Waiting patiently for us to say our goodbye As he draws his breath For the last time For the last time For the last time For the last time For the last time We know Grandma waiting on the other side Waiting patiently for us to say our goodbye As he draws his breath For the last time
