Mikey Jay - April 11th (Resting in Paradise...) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
April 10th, a boy was a man
April 11th, the world lost a man
Cancer took my Pop, college took my brain
Jesus took the wheel, but God took my pain
Maybe I got closer to you because I wasn't strong
Because I can still be saved, no matter how long
I ran away from your house and call
Felt like the further I went, harder I'd fall
And my family sent prayers, couldn't reciprocate
My mind needed to void itself of all the hate
And all of your angels act in some strange ways
Finding myself trapped inside the fifth floor of a Mainstays
Then Luke read, my name was written in Heaven
It's time to go home, maybe I'd learn the lesson
You had better intentions than me dying from a bullet
Intentions of curing cancer after my schooling

[Verse 2]
Your hands, my grandfather and ancestors rest
A testament, an ode, to my Heavenly who knows best
My creator, my savior, who my sins forever released
In hopes humanity will one day find some peace
Where black and white are colors, not attached to race
It's hard to deny my Father and look Him in the face
So tell me, whether my words never fell on deaf ears
Even if it's just me in this room, I know He always hears
Feeling lonely, depressed, suicidal thoughts used to plague
Didn't know where to turn, never thought to even pray
Wiping away my very tears, conquering my very fears
Feeling emotional, encouraged to go and lead my peers
If God stood before my eyes, I would fall to my knees
Asking for one thing, to say goodbye to my grandfather, if you please
(If you please)

[Outro]
Ohhhh, keep on praising
Keep on praising, keep on praising
Ohhhh, I praise you, I praise you
Ohhhh
