Lay Me Down | Cover

Text:
[Verse]
He died in a rocket crash on Mars
They gave me his military records
And I saw my name
He had a secret family with me

[Verse]
They brought his body back to Earth
I opened the casket and
I saw his face
He had a secret family with me

(Instrumental-Part)

[Chorus]
I want to love you for a long time
I want to see your face
You are the most important thing to me
And I love you

[Bridge]
He was already married
He had a son and a daughter
He was in the Air Force
I thought he was in the Army
He had a secret family with me

(Solo)

[Verse]
His body was on display in an open casket
His parents asked me not to come
But I couldn't miss it
He had a secret family with me

[Verse]
I saw his wife at the funeral
She looked just like me
They all thought it was a coincidence
He had a secret family with me

My Secret Family

This piece is fictional, but the emotions behind it are not.
“She Chose Peace” is dedicated to my mother,
who passed away from lung cancer eleven years ago.
Her courage, her love, and her quiet strength live on — in memory, in music, and in me.

Lyrics:

She rang that bell, the room stood still
Tears of joy, a dream fulfilled
They said she’d won, the fight was done
The battle lost, but somehow won

The months went on, she danced again
She laughed in light, with closest friends
But something stirred beneath her skin
A quiet sign — it came again

No more war, no more fight
Just morning sun and evening light
She held their hands, she smiled with grace
And lived each day she could embrace

She knew the truth, but chose to stay
In every hug, in every day
A stronger soul, she walked so brave
With no regrets, no need to save

“I’m not afraid… I just want to be here
To feel the breeze
To hear you laugh
To say goodbye without saying goodbye.”

No more fear, no disguise
Just stars reflected in her eyes
She didn’t lose, she made her choice
To leave in love, without a voice
