[Verse 1 - Black Smith] (Uh, yeah... All right. Yeah... yeah, uh!...) Front pew in Church, the left reserved for the family Still reelin' from the set of cards that Fate decide to hand me My mood is on shuffle, sendin' home the one who raised me Feel I let my mom down; now I can never wash my hands clean Consumed with makin' every single detail perfect I let slip my mind the thing that made it all worth it Her favorite song "Stand" listed on the church program And I left the track at home---now I'm heated like a furnace Never felt this worthless---how could I mess it up? Somethin' so important, that which mattered to the both of us! So upset, I ain't even hear the eulogy Why'm I actin' like stupidity is somethin' new to me? I really might as well be more used to it by now I only make it worse, and bring all of those who love me down Sulkin' in my seat, Depression lurkin' all around Can't lie no more: y'all will never know the sadness of a clown... [Verse 2 - Quentino] (Yeah... I guess what I could say is that... When I first saw her... I saw a bright light...) Back then, at the job, end up seein' her Didn't know what was goin' on Then I heard the news about a few years ago I was upset... and next thing y'know, end up goin' to the funeral Saw you at the front pew, and you lookin' at the casket Didn't know this was happenin', Thought it was a dream... Then I went up to the front, saw her in the casket I was a little sad... Looked back at you Never thought I would see you cry, but instead, bro, you end up standin' We got your back! Promise you bro: regardless of what goes on, we gon' be there Brothers to the end, man, and I promise you that Because it's came from the heart Even though this is just a whole new start... Yes indeed! I finally see, that, this is Paradise for her Because when she was in this world, she was sufferin' And now all of a sudden, I see that she's in peace Thank you, Lord, for takin' her somewhere Where she can be at peace and have her soul restin' Because in this place, there is no soul restin' All we do is deal with trials, and deal with blessings And since you done took her somewhere peaceful I know that she's got wings of an angel... [Verse 3 - Rob Carta] (Yeah! ...OK...yeah!) It's OK, son; God got her now I never experienced this, but I can sympathize But just know this---She's lookin' down on ya With a big smile, and her arms open Sayin': "Keep pushin', and don't never stop And just trust in God, and keep your head high And when you wanna quit, just think of me And I promise ya that those trials'll flee 'Cause I'm with the Father, healed and free So when you see me, you won't even believe What God has done. And just to let you know I'm standin' now. Yes, I am, son! I know you remembered that's my favorite song So don't keep stressin', son, 'cause God knew your heart I'm proud of you, and I can't wait to see ya I love you, son; you was always my favorite And one more thing---Keep on dreamin' And always, stay prayed up..."
