16 CARRIAGES
Chorus]
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long black road, all the tears I fight

[Verse 1]
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
Had to leave my home at an early age
I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind
All my tender problems, had to leave behind
Pre-Chorus]
It's been umpteen summers, and I'm not in my bed
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
Undеrpaid and overwhelmed
I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold
Still workin' all my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows

[Chorus]
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
Verse 2]
Sixteen dollars, workin' all day
Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make
I got love to create on this holy night
They won't dim my light, all these years I fight
Pre-Chorus]
It's been thirty-eight summers, and I'm not in my bed
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids
Overworked and overwhelmed
I might cook, clean, but still won't fold
Still workin' all my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows

[Chorus]
Sixteen carriages driving away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
Sixteen carriages driving away
While I watch them ride with my fears away
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all these tears I fight
Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh
Oh

[Bridge]
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
Had to take care of home at an early age
I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin'
Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind
For legacy, if it's the last thing I do
You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove
In your memory, on the highway to truth
Still see our faces when you close your eyes
Outro]
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away.

At the hospital
Taraji rushes inside and she was trying to figure out what was going on.
Taraji: What's wrong with is my wife and daughter.
Angela: Baby listen to me okay. They was coming to pick up Tyson, when Mara had a vision before she left the house and she told Tasia about it and Tasia said she would bring Mara to the doctors they was coming to get Tyson from my house, while they was driving a drunk driver hit them head on, Mara is okay but Tasia isn't.
Taraji: What! I wanna see them.
Angela: You can only see Mara, Regina and Phylicia are on their way as well. And Taraji nods her head and she goes to Mara room and her father is in the room comforting her.
Mara: Mommy.
Taraji: Baby its okay.
Mara: Where is mom is she okay.
Taraji: I dont know yet baby, was that your vision getting hit.
Mara: Yeah is mom mad at me.
Tasia: No babygirl no she's not I promise.
Mara: I saw the person who did it from my vision.
Taraji: You did.
Mara: Yes mommy.
Taraji: Baby who was it....

TBC....

Who caused the accident, will Mara say it or will she kept it to herself.
The next chapter is called Mara Visions. And I wanna go ahead and say this now, no Tasia isn't upset she is extremly thankful Mara told her had she not than the accident would have been more horrible
