Why did it have to end so soon
Why did you go away
Although I know it may never come true
I hope to see you some day
And I'll always remember
Those times that we shared
So if you're listening from up above, this is my prayer

You brought so much joy to this world of mine
Whenever I needed you came
A friend like you is so hard to find
Without you it won't be the same
And though many will try
No one can ever compare
So if you're listening from up above, this is my prayer

May the mountains rise to meet you
May the skies open wide
Know that in my heart, my friend
You will always be alive

There are so many things that I want you to know
So many words to say
And when he finally calls me home
I'll walk with you through those gates
So please remember me
Oh I promise I'll see you up there
I hope you're listening from up above, this is my prayer

May the mountains rise to meet you
May the skies open wide
Know that in my heart, my friend
You will always be alive

May the angels fly to greet you
You can see it all from up there
I know you're listening from up above
'cause this is and will always be my prayer
My prayer

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
