Jericho

Jericho

A Poem by Rilaya-Endgayme
"

This is a song I wrote about my best friend who I had a deep regret for neglecting over a period of four years. In this song, I promise her to not take her for granted ever again.

"
Verse 1
It's been so long
since I've talked
with you
You know I've been
deep in despair
And just as much as
I wish it wasn't true,
I've felt like you haven't
been with me there
to comfort me when
I need it most,
to let me know really care
But now I'm thinking,
What if I was the ghost?
What if I wasn't being fair?
I regret all that I did
And I'll do
everything I can
to fix this

CHORUS
I wanna march around
the city of Jericho
I wanna blow the trumpets
and make these walls tumble
I'll shout as loud as I can
to let you know I'm here,
so don't you shed a tear
I won't be going anywhere
for a while
I'll stay in the promised land
and I won't miss your smile
I promise you to never again
throw this away
and let me tell you why
with this simple phrase
I love you

Verse 2
All those times that
I've neglected you,
just the thought of it
breaks my heart
I did some things
I knew I shouldn't do,
and over time,
we drifted apart
I forgot to tell you just
how much,
how much you really
mean to me
And now, I know that
it's not too late
to go back to where
I need to be
I'm hoping that this
is not the end
I'll do everything in
my power to make amends

CHORUS

Bridge
And when all the
cement starts to crack,
and all the bricks and
the stones are
under attack,
I'll be ready to run
inside
I'll make sure to
hold you tight
I'll find you, and take
your hand
We'll make it out of the
dust and the sand
And I'll be sure that
we don't bend
again
'Cause, my friend...


CHORUS (2 times)
