People Come and Go lyrics
Verse 1
I was in ninth grade the first time a friend decided to depart
He took a lot of pills and yes, they stopped his heart
No one knew why he did it but his death hit me hard
It troubled me he could so easily, his life discard
Chorus
People come and go
We love those we get to know
Sometimes people depart
and they take a piece of our heart
Sometimes people leave
They leave the rest of us to grieve
Sometimes people stay
but we don’t appreciate when it works out that way
‘Cause it’s just another day
that we should be thankful for
We should be thankful for each day
Verse 2
I was just seventeen When my Mom first got sick
She fought her illness through the thin and the thick
But cancer is seldom a death that’s quick or easy
It took three years for her to go with Jesus
Chorus
Verse 3
And by the time that I had reached the age of 24
That curse of suicide had taken three more
Of my friends who chose to go out that door
It made me wonder what I could have done to support them
Final Chorus
We should be thankful for each day
