How did this happen?
One moment I was fine
the next? SPLAT
on the ground
Bike twisted and broken
next to me.

the roads were fine
I didn’t see any ice
if i had- I wouldn’t have ridden my
bike.

Me with blood on my pants
an aching head and a broken
rear end-
at least, it feels like that

So cold, so very cold
I can’t tell if I’m shaking because
of the cold weather, or because of the
fact that I almost died

I can’t get that picture out of my mind
It plays like a home movie in my head
repeatedly telling me-
you could have died
actually you should’ve died

by all things, I shouldn’t be
here right now
it kind of puts things into
perspective ya know?

How I’ve been living my life
what I’ve been doing with it
How I’ve treated other people and
even been treated by them

I didn’t exactly have a
come to Jesus moment,
where Jesus appeared
to carry me home-
Not sure I would have wanted to

But it did scare the hell
out of me enough that I sat there
waiting for the ambulance and got right
with him right then and there

I promised him that I would do better
If he spared me.
He did and now it’s my turn to keep my
promise and do better.

I guess you could say that was my
wake up call
