Gone Now Forever (They All Are Alone)
By L J Furman
He dreamed of his family from the hundred-tenth floor
His son then was thirteen the baby turned four
He went straight home at night, a family man,
He just went to work, I just don’t understand
Gone now forever never comin' home
Gone now forever his kids are alone
The baby’s a big girl loved her daddy so much
learned to run running to him, to the strength in his touch
one day he was there and then he was gone
a hole in her heart blocked out the sun
Gone now forever never comin' home
Gone now forever his kids are alone
The boy found ways to shut down his brain
He’s now a young man who fought thru the pain
For his father, for his mother, for his sister, he’d kill
But for oil or revenge he’s just not got the will.
Gone now forever never comin' home
Gone now forever his kids are alone
Torn from our grasp and gone now forever
We have pictures and memories forever to treasure
The photos on the wall the stories never told
Like Adam and Eve supposed to grow old
The father the husband the man straight and true
Went to work that cold Tuesday; the last thing he’d do.
Gone now forever never comin' home
They all are together and somehow less alone
