On a beautiful day
You went for a ride
The kids in the back
The wife by your side
Your family was hungry
But said they would wait
Until the next town
This sealed their fate
A tire blew out
The truck ahead
Spun out of control
Now they are dead
If only you stopped
To eat that lunch
You’d still be together
The entire bunch
En route to the airport
To catch a flight
On a business trip
You were traveling light
Construction delays
Caused you to be late
You’ll miss your flight
This sealed your fate
That day was so nice
In early September
An airplane crashed
You’ll always remember
Traffic, construction
You’re no more concerned
The plane that crashed
Was yours, you learned
Your fate is sealed
It happens this way
Some have to leave
Others will stay
