FISHER STREET

The lightning crashed
The world came down
A shot rang out
with the most horrible sound
A young girl falls at her boyfriend's feet
Right there on the side of Fisher Street
The boyfriend sinks down to his knees
silently sobbing, forgetting his needs
Sirens in the distance
reveal the tragic scene
Everyone always asks; Why me? Why him? Why her?
There are never any answers
Too much violence in the world, yeah...sure
At the funeral, many came
Life after was not the same
Something changed with the gunshot's pulsing beat
Something happened
there on Fisher Street
No one knows why, but all know how
And one day the gunman will take his final bow
That girl is remembered with memories so sweet
So, is the day when the lightning crashed,
and the world came down
on the side of Fisher Street

...Becca Fiumara
Back...
