Jason

Remember going to the library, just the two of us

Ace-level intelligence, you never made a fuss

Jehovah's Witness Bible studies, searching for the truth

Those quiet, searching moments in the days of our youth

You weren't a people person then, you kept it all inside

But you were getting ready for a much wider ride

Jason, you lived your life like "Come as you are"

You opened up your heart and you left the door ajar

You turned into a friend to every kind of anyone

My brother, you're in my thoughts, even though your days are done

I didn't know your life would be cut so short and fast

But the light you left behind is always gonna last

I still laugh about the day my car was almost towed

Almost hit the impound lot, panicking on the road

Then I came to visit you, standing in your church

You left your quiet nature way behind you in the lurch

Loud style sermon, a Southern Baptist preacher where you stood

Saying, "Get out of Egypt, man, 'cause change is always good"

Jason, you lived your life like "Come as you are"

You opened up your heart and you left the door ajar

You turned into a friend to every kind of anyone

My brother, you're in my thoughts, even though your days are done

I didn't know your life would be cut so short and fast

But the light you left behind is always gonna last

I should have been much nicer to you, I should have been more kind

If I had only known how little time we'd leave behind

But I'm so proud to see the man my brother soon became

From a quiet intellect to a preacher with a flame

Every kind of people person, shining in the sun

You finished up your journey, but your legacy's not done

'Cause Jason, you lived your life like "Come as you are"

You opened up your arms and you left the door ajar

You turned into a friend to every kind of anyone

My brother, you're in my thoughts, even though your days are done

I didn't know your life would be cut so short and fast

But the light you left behind is always gonna last
