Always the Good Ones
Eternal Echoes: Nostalgia in Neil Somers' Melodic Tribute
Lyrics
Got the news today, you've been taken away
Receiving news of your departure today
And a million questions start to fill my mind
A multitude of questions flooding my thoughts
I've been meaning to say that your words the other day
Intending to express gratitude for your recent words
Meant a lot to me, but it's too late
Realizing the significance, but it's too late to convey
And it's always the good ones that get the front row seats
Noticing that those who are virtuous face life's challenges directly
And it's always the good ones that get to sit down at God's feet
Good individuals have privileged access to divine proximity
And it's always the good ones who leaves too fast
Emphasizing the untimely departure of the virtuous
But your memory will forever last
Despite the loss, their impact persists in memory
What's it like old friend on the other end?
Reflecting on the experience of a departed friend
Is it everything we hoped and maybe more?
Wondering if the afterlife surpasses our expectations
See you soon my friend when our journey ends
An anticipation of reuniting with the friend in the afterlife
And we hope you'll be right there to meet us at the door
Expressing hope for a welcoming presence at the gates of the afterlife
You know it's always the good ones that get the front row seats
Reiterating the theme of virtuous individuals facing life's challenges
And it's always the good ones that get to sit down at God's feet
Continuing the idea of the virtuous having a special place with the divine
And it's always the good ones who leaves too fast
Reinforcing the idea of the untimely departure of the virtuous
But your memory will forever last
Despite their departure, the impact and memory endure
We can ask a thousand times
Pondering the mysteries surrounding the departure
Guess we'll never know just why
Accepting the uncertainty and acknowledging the impossibility of understanding
I just rest assured we'll see you again
Finding solace in the belief of a future reunion
Let your soul be still tonight
Wishing peace for the departed soul
You know we'll be alright
Assuring that life will continue despite the loss
And you know it's not goodbye
Emphasizing that parting is not a final farewell
And it's always the good ones that get the front row seats
Repeating the notion of virtuous individuals facing life's challenges
And it's always the good ones that get to sit down at God's feet
Reiterating the special place of the virtuous with the divine
And it's always the good ones who leaves too fast
Reaffirming the untimely nature of the departure of the virtuous
But your memory, oh your memory will forever last
Highlighting the everlasting nature of the virtuous person's memory
