Deathbed - Original song by Laura Fetter

So, this is a song I wrote on piano and lyrics... It's the first one I've ever recorded, so I'm terribly sorry if it's just awful. Uh, yeah. Enjoy!

I wrote this song after my dear friend's grandfather passed away.

Here are the lyrics

Deathbed
By: Laura Fetter

As he lay on his deathbed
The most peaceful bed there is
He looked up at his oldest son
Whose eyes were filled
with ignorant hope
You can see, although clearly
All has already been lost

As he lay on his deathbed,
The most peaceful bed there is
He reached out his small fragile hand
The boy held on, just like his hope
But he had no vitality,
because in reality,
He had only a few breaths left

And with those, he said

"You dont get anywhere
If you run in circles, and
I will tell you this
Just as Ive been told
Live loud, and behold
The world is a changed place

Say something that you dont mean
And what youve never meant more
At this precise moment in time
When you can be none but you
Do the things you always wanted to

I declare this now,
because then, Ill be dead
And now, is all Ill ever have
And now, is all I ever had"

And at that, he collapsed onto
The most peaceful bed there is
Serene and limp, fell back his hand
The boy held on, without any hope
his father lay, gone and dead,
on the most peaceful bed there is
So the boy stood up and left
Words lingering in his head

"You dont get anywhere
If you run in circles, and
I will tell you this
Just as Ive been told
Live loud, and behold
The world is a changed place

Say something that you dont mean
And what youve never meant more
At this precise moment in time
When you can be none but you
Do the things you always wanted to

He declared that then,
Because after, he was dead
And now, is all he ever had
And now, is all I'll ever have
And now is all you'll ever have"

So live for right now.
