[C]Life is a very [Em]precious thing you [F]only get one [C]shot
[Am]I once knew a [F]fine young man who [C]loved his life a [G]lot
But [C]for some sudden [F]reason no one [C]else will ever [F]know
He gave [C]up his family and [G]hopes and dreams, turned [F]loose and let them [C]go
I wish I could have been there with him to hold his hand
I wish I could have talked to him to help him understand
That he had everything to live for these intentions were all wrong
But in the flicker of an instant a young man's life was gone
I wish somehow I knew exactly what he felt inside
I wish I knew just what went through his mind that summer night
I know at least a thousand times I've asked the good Lord why
But its best to just let him rest although it's hard to say goodbye
Bridge:
He's on his [Am]way to see [G]Jesus, he's [F]left us and moved [C]on
Now [Am]all we have are [F]memories and a [C]name tag etched in [G]stone
He [C]left his world be[G]hind at a time he [Am]felt he was all a[F]lone
Now he's [C]comin to see [G]Jesus,[F] please make him feel at [C]home
