May - Jordan Rakei

Written by：Jordan Rakei

It was a dark night when I heard the news

Rolled up my sleeves and walked

Like a landslide overly abused

Yet told myself to call

Yes my mother vaguely confused

She told me not to bawl

Bawl my eyes cause my eyes are red

With nothing left at all

So I get there my composure

Head quickly for the door

And yet alarm bells ring maybe not enough

Frequent the lady called

Called me your grandmother I loved her so much more

Than nobody else left on this earth

I'm in this state of roar

As we marched through the madness

April was unclear

Suddenly it turned to sadness

Hopes turned into fears

And it was May it was May it was May it was May

Guess it was a day the day of reckoning

Six feet beneath the soil

Yet we held on held each other tight

With standards soon to storm

Cause we're here now yes we're here now

Moments like this are raw

It's my family tree planting it's roots stronger than before

As we marched through the madness

April was unclear

Suddenly it turned to sadness

Hopes turned into fears

And it was May it was May it was May it was May

You left

You left

Without a chance to say

Without a chance to say goodbye at all

A chance to say goodbye at all

As we marched through the madness

April was unclear

Suddenly it turned to sadness

Hopes turned into fears

And it was May it was May it was May it was May
