Beautiful Mind

A life about to begin
After 25 years, you're just getting over the spin
Of what this world will leave you in

Now I'm feeling hopeless again
A son, a brother, a lover and my friend
Prematurely meets the end

Who gets to decide
Why his life's over and I get to live mine?
A thousand things left behind
Leave a thousand ways to look inside that beautiful mind

Church and steeple, five hundred people
They turned up right on time
Congregation spills outside onto Harris Drive

The crowed pews staring at their shoes
With their loved ones sat beside
Harvest moon fills the skies and his mother's eyes

Who gets to decide
Why his life's over and I get to live mine?
A thousand things left behind
Leave a thousand ways to look inside that beautiful mind

The cars don't move 'cause the avenue's all lined with suits and ties
Tryna find our way inside
Tryna say our last goodbyes
Trying to understand why they took that beautiful mind
