I saw the pain in their faces
…on the Westside
Her story they didn’t have to tell
…on the Westside
Read her words on the screen about the struggles, saw the memes
…on the Westside
My tears fell and fell when the latest post said RIP
…on the Westside

She was like a gold coin with a fearless voice
Thrown down wisdom’s well
All is lost, yet all is saved
The Westside gained an angel
When she left us on that day

Keep the fight on, Westside Angel
We know where you are now
Don’t worry about the love you left
There never was a doubt
Find your flightpath in the Kingdom
and fly, fly, fly
We know you’re looking in on us
The whole world is your sky
Until we next see you again
Keep to your purpose…
Fly, fly, fly

Life is a constant challenge
Some foes we can see
Some foes we can’t
Just ask the demons who created a killer
out of a Heaven made poppy plant
All that matters are the people
who knew her spirit, viewed her page
and will skip the next line
or see their troubles really ain’t… too much to face
Her legacy…
Lives saved…

Keep the fight on, Westside Angel
We know where you are now
Don’t worry about the love you left
There never was a doubt
Find your flightpath in the Kingdom
and fly, fly, fly
We know you’re looking in on us
The whole world is your sky
Until we next see you again
Keep to your purpose…
Fly, fly, fly

Any side of any city can have an angel like we do…
Location doesn’t matter
She was ours
We were hers
We are each other’s to share
Next time you look up
Don’t forget, it’s alright to stare
Quite alright to stare
Angel of our Westside, we know you are up there
It’s alright to stare

Keep the fight on, Westside Angel
We know where you are now
Don’t worry about the love you left
There never was a doubt
Find your flightpath in the Kingdom
and fly, fly, fly
We know you’re looking in on us
The whole world is your sky
Until we next see you again
Keep to your purpose…
Fly, fly, fly
The whole world is your sky
Fly, fly, fly
