If you take my hand, and step back from the ledge I’ll understand.

There’s always something to say to get you through the day.

No one hurts like God above but if you ask he will send some love.

I’ve got a good ear to lend if you’re looking for a good friend.

Think about the people you would leave behind.

It would scar their heart and hurt their mind.

The world will always have struggle and strife.

But nothing worth a human life.

MAY THE GOOD LORD SHINE ON YOU FOR ALL THOSE TO SEE

This is a play on the song “Dashboard Mary” by Podunk

Dashboard Mary, speak to me I need to hear your voice…

Would dashboard Mary save me as she abruptly spoke to me that one last time,

Dashboard Mary saved me from a violent death

I fortunately didn’t discover that fatality-driven weekend…

Several people were rushed to the hospital to die in the staff’s arms…

It’s too late too late too late for dashboard Mary to save those poor souls the devil cheated out of one last day on this cold cruel Earth.

Would they have one last chance to pay a fond farewell to their best friends…

A long procession, as long as the lines of vehicles that proved their loyalty to undying memory of best friends and best times…

May the good Lord shine on you for all those to see…Dashboard Mary, speak to me I need to hear your voice…

Would Dashboard Mary save you…

She saved me…

I have no relatives, only Dashboard Mary
