Screams, the song

A friend of mine passed along a song he wrote that was inspired by my novel, SCREAM. Way to go, Brian!

Screams by Brian Desautels

V. 1
Your life seems,
Like it has, no pur-pose;
You don’t,
Know what,
You’re sup-posed to do;
So man-y, id-eas,
Goin’ thru your mind;
Then one call; it chan-ges,
Changes it all for you….

Chorus 1

Make your hair stand on end;
[Screams]
“Did you hear it?’
“Am I dreamin’?”
You ask the caller who’s
Your friend.
They tell you,
They heard it, and
They’re afraid to go to bed;
(and) you say, “It’s nothing,
just interference,”
But you don’t know what lies ahead;
[Screams]
You hang up and learn la-ter,
That your friend is now dead.
[Screams]

V. 2
You don’t know,
What’s happened to your friend;
He was not,
A Christian;
Thoughts racing, why him?
He was too young to die;
Your phone rings,
Pick it up,
It’s hap-pen-ing again!

Chorus 2
[Screams]
Make your heart stop and feel cold as stone;
[Screams]
“Did you hear it?’
“Am I dreamin’?”
You ask your neighbor who’s on the phone.
[Screams]
They tell you,
They heard it, and
They’re afraid to go be alone;
(and) you say, “It’s nothing,
just interference,”
But you don’t know what lies ahead;
[Screams]
You hang up and learn la-ter,
That your neigh-bor is now dead.
[Screams]

V. 3
You now know
Your life has, great purpose;
You don’t want, any-more,
Unbelievers to die;
Without having a personal
Relationship with Christ;
Your phone rings, a-gain;
So share now,
The Good News of Jesus Christ my friend…

Chorus 3
[Screams]
Keep the Armor (of God),
on all the time;
[Screams]
“I heard it?’
“I’m not dreamin’?”
You keep the caller on the line.
[Screams]
They tell you,
They heard it, and
They’re afraid to die;
(and) you say, “Call u-pon, the Lord and receive eternal life.”
[Screams]
You hang up and learn la-ter,
That the cal-ler did indeed die;
But that’s ok, they had a,
Personal relationship with Christ!
[Screams]
