Nobody ever gets to predict the day and time
‘Cause if they did they would spend it trying to say goodbye
Still got your number in my phone I’m hoping that it rings
And that it is your telling me it was all a dream
No longer down here dealing with these petty things
I pray that you get to trade your pain for a set of wings
Meanwhile I’m down here tripping, didn’t realize that time was ticking
Every time I was down you picked me up; damn I miss you
I hate to question God but I don’t understand
But I really wish he woulda let me in on his plan
Tears in my eyes symbolize the regrets
Wish I woulda said I loved you one more time before you left

Farewell my friends, I’ll never say goodbye
Farewell my friends, till I see you again
Farewell my friends, and I’ll never say goodbye
Farewell my friends, till I see you again

Lift your walls and hug your child
When was the last time that you smiled?
When was the last time you called someone you ain’t spoke to in a while?
Just to tell ’em that you loved ’em
To tell ’em that you missed ’em
This life is for the paper, it can end at any minute
So, live inside the moment, even cherish the problems
Treat it as if it’s golden, tomorrow was never promised

And live every day as if it was your last
‘Cause only God knows how much sand is in that glass
Only God knows how many breaths are still in your chest
And only God knows how many steps in your journeys’ left
Don’t have tears in your eyes to symbolize your regrets
So, show ’em that you love ’em with the time you have left

Farewell my friends, I’ll never say goodbye
Farewell my friends, till I see you again
Farewell my friends, and I’ll never say goodbye
Farewell my friends, till I see you again

Do you remember where you was on that September date?
That take your breath away, you hit your knees and pray
And what about the day Princess Diana died
Candle in the Wind, made the whole world cry
What about JFK and Martin Luther King?
Ultimate sacrifice, they gave their life for a dream
And Michael Jackson, he was the King of Pop
Elvis Presley we all know he was the King of Rock
And Jam Master Jay, man that was Hip-Hop
Every time you hear about them gun shots your heart stops
What about the tragedies and all the senseless violence?
Everyone who has lost somebody, moment of silence

Farewell, farewell
Farewell, farewell
See you on the other side
Farewell my friends, I’ll never say goodbye
Farewell my friends, till I see you again
Farewell my friends, and I’ll never say goodbye
Farewell my friends, till I see you again
