I
WHAT STARTED OUT AS JUST ANOTHER ORDINARY DAY
I DROVE DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD
WITH MY CASSETTE DECK ON PLAY
A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS FROM MY GARDEN AT HOME
LOOKING FOR SOME FAMILY MEMBERS
WHERE THEY LAY ALL ALONE
I WAS KIND OF IN A HURRY NO THIS WON'T TAKE TOO LONG
AS I STROLLED THROUGH THE FRESH MOWED GRASS
I HUMMED A LITTLE SONG
AND AS I REACHED THAT LITTLE MOUND
WHERE THEY'VE LAID FOR YEARS
I FELT THE PRESSURE IN MY EYES AS THEY FILLED UP WITH TEARS
CHORUS
I JUST CAME TO LAY SOME FLOWERS
ON A LOVED ONES GRAVE
AT THE REQUEST OF SOME FAMILY
WHO LIVE SO MANY MILES AWAY
BUT AS I STEPPED UP TO EACH STONE
THEIR MEMORIES I RECALL
I JUST CAME TO PLACE SOME FLOWERS
NOTHING MORE OR LESS THAT'S ALL

IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER WHAT YOUR PLANS OR CREED
I'VE COME TO THIS CONCLUSION AS THE STONES I READ
I'VE TALKED TO SOME FRIENDS OF MINE
WHO SAY YOU'VE LOST YOUR SON
SOMEDAY YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
WHY HE HAD TO BE THE ONE
