We all can heed his advice.....
There's a movie that I've seen a lot
I've even seen it in my dreams
About a day out of my life
I remember all the scenes
Just a day in 89
My wife and child were at my side
Going east on a vacation
Lining up to take a ride
Two hundred ninety six went through the gate
Leaving earth with few goodbyes
It's such a sunny pretty July day
Up here in the friendly sky
Short subject playing on TV
Lunch was good, the end is nigh
I hope you made the best of your short life
You never know when you could die
There goes the bang, the engine's gone
Captain says we're gonna try
To get her down to ground safe and sound
With no controls he's gonna fly
Me and my family sitting there
I hope it's gonna be all right
My little boy sleeping next to me
I hope it's gonna be all right
I can't believe what's going on
This aint no roller coaster ride
Now we're out here in the tall green corn
You never know when you could die
You've seen the coverage on TV
The crew and captain saved a lot of lives
But when the fire and the smoke had cleared
One hundred twelve good people died
A lot of people ask about that day
Has it changed my life in any way
Well I can tell you but it'd take too long
It wouldn't fit in just a song
The most important thing that I can say
Is when I think of those who died
They never said some things they had to say
They never heard a last goodbye
Even if you didn't almost die
You should feel lucky just to be alive
Tell your dear ones that you love them so
That's the main thing that I know.
I was employed with United airlines and serviced to lavatories on that plane on that fateful day..
