The Time Is Now

Nathan Wagner . 4th Point - Think of Me

[Intro]
I saw you there, riding beside me,
Life ahead, full of dreams and hope.
But in a flash, it all was taken,
And the world seemed to lose all scope.

[Verse 1]
You didn’t deserve the chaos that night,
Your laughter, your smile, your guiding light.
The criminal drove, but justice failed,
And now your story is one that’s wailed.

I scream your name into the void,
Anger and grief, my heart destroyed.
How could they miss what was so clear?
Your life was precious, your soul sincere.

[Pre-Chorus]
Questions haunt me, pain runs deep,
Memories of you won’t let me sleep.
I can’t make sense, I can’t forgive,
But I’ll remember the way you lived.

[Chorus]
How come the cops shot an innocent passenger
Instead of the criminal behind the wheel?
Your life was stolen, your voice silenced,
But I’ll rise, I’ll fight, your love my shield.
They took your light, but not your soul,
Your memory keeps my heart whole.
How come the cops shot an innocent passenger
Instead of the criminal? It takes its toll.

[Verse 2]
I see your face in every crowd,
Your laughter echoes, though it’s not loud.
The driver’s crime left you to fall,
But I’ll honor you and answer the call.

Every night I plead with the skies,
Why’d they take you, why’d you die?
I hold your spirit, I hold it tight,
Turning grief into a fight.

[Pre-Chorus]
Questions haunt me, pain runs deep,
Memories of you won’t let me sleep.
I can’t make sense, I can’t forgive,
But I’ll remember the way you lived.

[Chorus]
How come the cops shot an innocent passenger
Instead of the criminal behind the wheel?
Your life was stolen, your voice silenced,
But I’ll rise, I’ll fight, your love my shield.
They took your light, but not your soul,
Your memory keeps my heart whole.
How come the cops shot an innocent passenger
Instead of the criminal? It takes its toll.

[Bridge]
I won’t stay silent, I won’t let go,
Your story will be the world’s echo.
We’ll rise for justice, we’ll speak your name,
Turn sorrow to fire, anger to flame.

[Final Chorus]
How come the cops shot an innocent passenger
Instead of the criminal behind the wheel?
Your life was stolen, your voice silenced,
But I’ll rise, I’ll fight, your love my shield.
They took your light, but not your soul,
Your memory keeps my heart whole.
How come the cops shot an innocent passenger
Instead of the criminal? It takes its toll.

[Outro]
Your spirit lives, your love remains,
Through the tears, through the pain.
I’ll fight for you, I’ll make them see,
Justice for you will always be.

Man on the Run
