I didnt know him

I wish I did

But know hes dead

He was a nice kid

He got good grades

He was the quarter back

But all he lacks

Is a sense of judgment

So he got on the bike

Without a care or like

And he crashed and burn

And now its his turn

To go to heaven



Chorus: Why do these things happen to ordinary people

Why do these things happen at all

So ask yourself

What would you do

If your best friend died in front you

In front of you?



The boy that died

Everyone that ever saw him cried and cried

But only if he hadnt got on that killer of life

He might have had a wife

He could have been so much

But hes dead

And all thats left is his head

Thats deformed

So this is the end for him



Chorus: Why do these things happen to ordinary people

Why do these things happen at all

So ask yourself

What would you do

If your best friend died in front you

In front of you?



R. I. P., Marshall,

That was his name

He even played a good football game

In heaven he will be

Waiting patiently for all to see

Bye-bye Marshall, I wish I knew

Who, you were



Chorus: Why do these things happen to ordinary people

Why do these things happen at all

So ask yourself

What would you do

If your best friend died in front you

In front of you?
