When death called upon us
He stood there like a stone
And when there was comfort
He wanted to be alone
He didn’t visit him alive
Why see him when he’s dead
I can’t figure out
What’s going through his head
Disrespect, no honor
To the family that’s around
The family ties that exist
He doesn’t feel bound
And someday there will come
When help is what he’ll need
But after all that’s been done
No one will answer his plead
So we live our lives
Wondering what went wrong
And we will keep on striving
Without him being along
