Bound For Glory - Black September lyrics

So many things race through my head

Of the perils, the dreams of the life you led

I've so many memories of you my friend

You're in my thoughts with every tear I cry

Only the good die young is the truth

The sorrow of those that loved you is the proof

How could you ever leave so soon

I keep asking why

I think of the good times we shared

The laughing, the joking without a care

I never knew the burdens you beared

I never had the chance to say goodbye

I really wish I knew your pain

I'd have done anything to take it away

There were so many things I wanted to say

There's so many questions, I keep asking why?

Chorus:

So many fallen, so many lost

Grips my heart like a September frost

How many more brothers must we render

Come the turning of black September

You're in my heart day and night

You were a shooting star shining bright

I never thought you'd fade away

But all good things must come to an end

I have to close the book on this tragedy

I feel like I've lost a part of me

Memories of you is all I've got left

I know one day we'll meet again

I know you're off to a better place

Soaring like an eagle with freedom and grace

The wind to your back, the world is yours

You are finally free

You are always a part of the family

I need your spirit to look over me

As the wheels of time keep on turning

I'll never lose the memories of you my friend

(Repeat Chorus)
