Golden Tickets

Two kids, side by side, hand in hand, chasing time,

Building castles in the clouds, drawing stars that lit the night.

You were my compass, my laughter, my guide.

Said we'd take on the world, together as a team, we'd always stand strong.

But life wrote a story we never planned,

One where you left, ripped my heart from my chest, I just don’t understand.

You said, "You'll never be left behind, I'll always be here with you."

But heaven must've missed the part where they made a ticket for one, when it should have been for two.

Now I'm standing in the echoes, calling out your name,

Lost in all the memories, but nothing feels the same.

I still hear your laughter in the wind’s gentle sigh,

See your shadow in the sunset, as the colors fade to night.

I hold onto our promises, the dreams we once drew,

But how do I follow, if I can’t go with you?

They say time is a healer, but they don’t understand,

Some hearts stay broken, like footprints in the sand.

You said, "You'll never be left behind, I'll always be here with you."

But heaven must've missed the part where they made a ticket for one, when it should have been for two.

Now I'm standing in the echoes, calling out your name,

Lost in all the memories, but nothing feels the same.

Maybe one day, when my time comes,

I’ll find you waiting where the golden river runs.

And you’ll take my hand, just like we had planned,

And we'll go home together, and rest in the sands of time.

You said, "You'll never be left behind, I'll always be here with you."

"Heaven's beenwatching, waiting, holding your ticket, until its your time."

So Ill keep on walking, till the road brings me near,

And I’ll whisper to the heavens, "Brother, I’m still here."

So Ill keep on walking, till the road brings me near,

And I’ll whisper to the heavens, "Brother, I’m still here."

Until then, I’ll keep dreaming of the day I can see you again…

When i have my golden ticket,

in my hand.
