questions

[CoolJ]

when i was 13 back then my life
was full of wonder and was innocent
i listened to my mom and dad
and did what i was told
later that same year my mom got sick and died
it left me in complete descent
the one thing i thought i would have forever
was now forever stole

at night i'd sneak out walk the streets
to think about the meaning of it all
i wandered down the empty roads to contemplate
did i every say goodbye?
sometimes life leaves you breathless and without a net
who'll catch you when you fall?
so i'm left with only questions
who what where when how and why?

then when i was 16 met a girl
and i thought it was true love
we walked together holding hands
and talked about our future life as one
later that same year she said she kissed another boy
i said i didn't care
but the one thing i thought i would have forever
was again forever gone

so at night i'd sneak out walk the streets
to think about the meaning of it all
i wandered down the empty roads to contemplate
did i every say goodbye?
sometimes life leaves you breathless and without a net
who'll catch you when you fall

now a little older than 18 im just discoving
what i really want from life
my friends are always there for me
and things have never been this fun
but later this same year doctors tell me
is all i have to live
funny the one thing i thought would be forever
once again is done

so at night i sneak out walk the streets
to think about the meaning of it all
i wander down the empty roads and contemplate
how this time i'll say goodbye
soon life will leave me breathless
and i'll take my final fall
but I know it's God who'll catch me in his net
and answer who what where when how and why
