Taken



This is a song by the rock group, RA. Driving home from work while listening to one of my favorite apps, this song began to play. It immediately made me think about my Grandmommy and Papa and I was brought to tears. The lyrics are great, but listening to the song is even better because you can feel the emotion from the lead singer.

Continue to Rest In Peace Grandmommy and Papa; I love y’all more than you’ll ever know!

Enjoy.

It’s always been the way that it has been
Falling through a hole inside myself
I can’t remember hardly anything
But I remember holding your hand
In winter colors all but fade away
The sun seems more ashamed to take the sky
You used to keep me warm within your purity
But now I am lost in an empty space oh

Healing, a broken soul, this lie that I’m forced to live in
Taken, now that you’ve been ripped from me

My memory is a fog too thick to see
I must have sold your thoughts to stop the pain
And while it always rains inside of me
My love for you will never ever let you die oh

Healing, a broken soul, this lie that I’m forced to live in
Taken, now that you’ve been ripped from me

Can’t you see
Can’t you see
I’m not me

I can’t let go your softness haunts me
Without your touch I wrinkle like a flower burned
If there’s a God I promise him anything he asks of me
So I could hold you in my arms forever
