In Memory of Chase
Written by Isabelle Zehnder
| |
I was
only sixteen, just bein’
a kid
Laughin’ and talkin’, that’s all I did
They yelled, “Shut up, quit talking,
get out of your tent”
Much as I tried they wouldn't relent
They grabbed me hard in the dark of the night
Three very large men, they held me tight
They grabbed me, and we fell to the ground
Three grown men on top of me,
that’s how I was found
I pleaded and cried "I cannot breathe"
But they just wouldn’t listen to my pleas
I cried, I wanted to see my mom and dad
They just wouldn't listen, they were so mad
I prayed “Dear God, get them off of me”
I knew in my heart it was my last plea
Those three men sat on my back
that night
Under three men, suffocated, I lost the fight |
