Afterlife - Alex g
When the light came
Big and bright
I began another life
When the light came
Big and bright
I began another life
Let me write down
Every word
Once I was a mockingbird
Not an angel
But I'm your man
I can bring you back again
A prayer was a baited hook
Scribbled in a history book
Let me run on
In between
Heaven and the TV screen
