KOBE
As a young boy he traveled from Philly to the bright lights of LA,
He was so young that nobody knew his name.
When he got on the court and showed them that he could shoot.
A young boy among men, boy he sure could play.
He left behind such a legacy; the game will never be the same.
Now the whole world knows that young boy became a man,
And Kobe was his name.

There comes a time in everyone’s life,
Whether you go left, or you go right,
You will still feel the pain.
STAY STRONG.
The loss of a loved one,
The loss of a child,
And airplanes falling out of the sky,
STAY STRONG.
Tornadoes walking over mountains high,
Wildfires blowing out of control,
Snow so high you can’t see the road,
And rain coming down with nowhere to go,
STAY STRONG.
Sometimes life is out of control,
But you must stand fast and get a hold,
STAY STRONG
Tomorrow could be a brighter day,
Whether you’re right,
or whether you’re wrong,
You will still feel the pain,
STAY STRONG

Let me tell you how you make me feel today,
you say love and laughter is coming my way.
With no way but up, I’m feeling okay,
with love and laughter coming my way.
Without your sweet words, I don’t know what to say,
so let me thank you for the encouragement you’re giving me today.
And thank you for your guidance that you have given me,
with strength in your love, I think I understand.
With all the love and laughter come my way,
so at the end of the day, I’m doing okay,
with love and laughter come my way.

When your candle flickers out,
there’s nothing more to be said.
When your candle flickers out,
all the good, the bad, and the sad,
there’s no time to straighten out.
When your candle flickers out,
you think you left a legacy behind,
but all you left was the dash.
The dash stands for the beginning and the end,
when your candle flickers out.
One day your candle was burning bright,
but now the candle’s out.
It doesn’t make a difference of how good or how bad you’ve been,
it still comes down to the dash.
It is your beginning and your end,
and now the candle’s out.
