Oh, Ryan
The mood inside my head and heart is sad in every way
The unfairness up and took a life, locked it up away
The questions asked by all of us who knew this boyish man
Have no answers anywhere for all of us to understand
The inequalities of this life, its balance is a shame
To take the best and leave the rest and who there is no blame.
Different a day when you lose a friend, the mood inside is sad
We look for answers in loneliness, no answers come to hand
It's so unfair, we scream inside, yet nothing comes to change
The battles that are fought in heart, can never heal the pain
Just remembering his smile, his countenance, is all that I have left
Oh, Ryan, you were a fine young man that I will always miss
