[Verse 1]
Baby AJ, I talk to the sky,
ask the moon why you had to fly.
Shaquida cry with a hand on her heart,
Big AJ stay strong, but he break in the dark.
Your little shoes by the door still there,
your name on the lip of every prayer.
We count your days like beads on a string,
every tear fall heavy, but love still sing.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you feel that love up high,
I know you see us when we cry.
Hold a place for us, hold it tight,
we gon' meet you back one day in light.
[Chorus]
Baby AJ, stay near
Shaquida, Big AJ, still here
Baby AJ, stay near
Love don't end when you disappear (stay near)
[Verse 2]
Shaquida fold your shirt, touch the seams,
Big AJ stand quiet, chasing dreams.
They miss your laugh, they miss your face,
miss how you ran to the warmest place.
Now every good day got your name in it,
every hard night got a prayer flame in it.
If heaven got swings and a open yard,
then baby AJ, you ain't gone far.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you feel that love up high,
I know you see us when we cry.
Hold a place for us, hold it tight,
we gon' meet you back one day in light.
[Chorus]
Baby AJ, stay near
Shaquida, Big AJ, still here
Baby AJ, stay near
Love don't end when you disappear (stay near)
[Bridge]
When the hurt get loud, we speak your name,
same love, same tears, same sacred flame.
One day soon, beyond this pain,
we'll run to you and breathe again.
[Final Chorus]
Baby AJ, stay near
Shaquida, Big AJ, still here
Baby AJ, stay near
Love don't end when you disappear (stay near)
