Rocky's Prayer

If you added more Ice, then the cooler the chill
But do you or don't you need more Christ to know
The true ruler for real

I feel deep down this isn't a session to dodge
But I find hard to sleep now
Can I question my God?

Why did I have to get shot to learn the ropes
Why do I over indulge in liquids that burn my throat

It's ironic that selling Chronic gave me so much
Sometimes drink hurts so much I vomit
Can you save this lush

Why didn't I grow up with a golden spoon in my mouth
All I want is something normal
Nothing formal
Just a groom and a spouse
Why couldn't we grow up with more room in the house

Why did you take pop's
Leaving mom with seven
How could I remain calm looking for ways to heaven

With all that's going on how could I praise the reverend?

God, you know I love you
Just walk with a player
I know you can't answer this orally
But just talk through prayer
One Love
Rocky

Lost To Me A Distant Sound

Tears fall from a babies eyes
Mothers, fathers, aunts and uncles
All love ones in-between
Gone is your touch
But I feel your presence everywhere
Knowledge you gave me
I now understand
You were the present under the Christmas tree

In the stars I see the twinkle of your eyes
In winters preview, I feel the warmth of you
On holidays when joy prevails
I close my eyes and feel your smile
In times of panic, your voice sooths me
These things and many more you left behind
Get me through troubled times

I will be with you soon
My mother, my father, my aunt and uncle
And all love ones in-between
A lifetime being but a wink in God's eye
As I enter eternity where we all will rest
We look down at our children's children
Knowing the knowledge we leave behind
Will help them to achieve their best

Traveled Roads

We travel roads that lead here and there
Often we end up nowhere
Why do we travel the path we take
We know it is our mistake
What leads us from right to wrong
It's much to long
We need to adjust our sights for the path ahead
So we don't end up in the devils bed
God is who we need, when were dead
Our souls will know of Gods good grace
As we stand there face to face
