August 7, 4:15 Lyrics
Sometimes God calls His angels ... too soon.
Perfect Texas afternoon
Mother and two children play
The way they always do
As they raced home from the mailbox
A mother and her son
Against a little girl of six years old
The independent one
Through all the neighbourhood
They said I got some news to tell you folks
I’m afraid it aint so good
Somehow something happened
Someone got away
Someone got the answers for what happened here today
Oh no no no no
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
August 7, 4:15
Tried to find the reason
Cop dogs sniffed around for clues
Someone shouted "Hit and run"
The coroner cried "Foul"
Her blue dress was what she wore
The day they laid her body down
Oh no no no no
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
August 7, 4:15
Up on Heaven’s highest hill
And no one there can hurt you baby
No one ever will
Somewhere someone’s conscience
Is like a burning bed
The flames are all around you
How you gonna sleep again
Oh no no no no
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
August 7, 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
August 7, 4:15
Wasn't Katherine Korzilius his producers daughter who was killed and this is his dedication?
Yeah
Katherine was killed and they never got the bastards that did it. Jon wrote this to vent his own anger, as well as to tell the killers exactly what was thought of them.
Katherine was the daughter of the Bon Jovi road manager.
This song... is so incredibly sad... I mean... it makes me cry... I dont see how more people dont pay attention to it.
the korzilius's are very close family friends and i remember katherine as a child, i havent been able to listen to the song in years, its definatly a very very upsetting song

I first heard about this song while watching UNSOLVED MYSTERIES. The story is so heart breaking and so is the song.
From what I remember from the show they said that Jon was close to the family and was sadden by the news. So to let the world (killer included) know how he felt he wrote this song.
