The Girl from My Village - Cosmo Jarvis

I’m not gonna talk like she was my friend

But she died and I started to cry

She hung out in the village wherever I hung out

Didn’t know how to talk but was always fine

She saw many of the same things I have seen

And I bet she had her own grand dreams

Now a girl just a few years older than me

Has been taken from the world for no reason it seems

(Pre-Chorus)

I see a million bad people a day

And I know they bad people but they won’t go away

They bump in on places everywhere that you’ll see

So who decided she was gonna be the person to leave

It could’ve been me

So easily, another good girl goes away

While the bad guys get to stay

I don’t get it, I don’t know what to say

And I’m sorry you were thrown away

She could’ve done so much more but now

The chance has been taken away

I wish I could’ve done something for her

Like go and get death and try to get in his way

A life cut short while others drag

And plot, and steal and scheme

Now a girl from the same damn village as me

Has been taken from the world for no reason it seems

(Pre-Chorus)

I see a million bad people a day

And I know they bad people but they won’t go away

They bump in on places everywhere that you’ll see

So who decided she was gonna be the person to leave

It could’ve been me

So easily, another good girl goes away

While the bad guys get to stay

I don’t get it, I don’t know what to say

And I’m sorry you were thrown away

So easily, another good girl goes away

While the bad guys get to stay

I don’t get it, I don’t know what to say

And I’m sorry you were thrown away

And I’m sorry you were thrown away
