balance problems - the neighbor kid has a gun lyrics
you ran across the yard and turned your back
your brother he watched and in the gr-ss he sat
the neighbor kid with a loaded gun and car
he fired a shot and the bullet grazed your heart
the doctors they watched you close and held their breath
and some would believe in a miracle they witnessed
the bullet stopped short and broke one of your ribs
a hospital bed and a second chance to live
you’re closer to death
the neighbors – they left, ashamed of what he did
their son, they hid
and all of the rest – your days that are left – upon your chest: a scar
a gift; your heart never stopped
i was afraid of what a friend told me
a burst of light and the harsh reality
he could recall a voice so comforting
but still it was hard to know what to believe
i looked away as my head absorbed the facts
and ran through the house until i reached the back
i couldn’t help but be taken with the fear
it’s unavoidable but he is always near
i was closer to death
and i would have guessed it was my turn to go
he told me so
and the all of the rest of my days that are left – upon my chest: a scar
a gift; my heart never stopped
