Jerome you were a good baby
Jerome you started to walk too early
long before you could talk
Jerome I use to hold you in my arms
like you were my own
Jerome I took good care of you
when mama was gone
Jerome I remember the day when
you told me you were going away
Jerome, Jerome, Jerome I was
speechless didn't know what to say
Jerome it was your graduation day
Jerome what were you thinking
Jerome what were you drinking
Jerome what did you do that for
Jerome you could have stayed here
and fought on this battlefield
Jerome why did you have to go away
and get killed
Jerome we lost you in a war
Jerome I still feel torn and still call your
name wishing you would answer me
Jerome you ran into the fire
Jerome you got hung in barbed wire
Jerome you use to sing in the choir
Jerome I miss your song
Jerome I still hum along
Jerome you had no time to return fire
Jerome why are you tired you sleep too long
Jerome is there something wrong
Jerome you haven't been my brother long
before God took you home
Jerome where have you gone
Jerome please hold on
Jerome just be strong
Jerome last time I saw you
Jerome you wasn't where you belong
Jerome please come back
Jerome you're way too far from home
Jerome why did you roam
Jerome you're in the danger zone
Jerome they flew your body home
Jerome I still have your ashes
and little pieces of bones
Jerome please don't forget me
Jerome you will always be with me
Jerome please tell God I'm no longer angry
Jerome I prayed and hoped you heard
every word and every teardrop fall
Jerome I often wish it was a mistaken
identity and you would call to say
it wasn't me
Jerome as time goes on with every
breath I take I feel relief I'm glad
you're free save a place for me
