Highway to Heaven?

They opened the door, and the senator was stuck on the phone.

He put down the phone and says, come on in, boys.

You could tell when he was looking at you that he's not looking through you.

He's taking you into account.

And I remember walking out of there like I was 10 feet tall.

The next day, he had his victory speech.

So they came down the service elevator, which is behind the kitchen.

I remember extending my hand as far as I could, and then I remember him shaking my hand, and as he let go, somebody shot him.

I kneeled down to him and put my hand between the cold concrete and his head just to make him comfortable.

I could see his lips moving, so I put my ear next to his lips, and I heard him say, "'Is everybody okay?'

I said, "'Yes, everybody's okay.'"

I could feel a steady stream of blood coming through my fingers.

I had a rosary in my shirt pocket and I took it out thinking that he would need it a lot more than me.

I wrapped it around his right hand and then they wheeled him away.

The next day, I decided to go to school.

I didn't want to think about it.

But this woman was reading the newspaper, and you could see my picture in there with the senator on the floor.

She turned around and showed me the picture and says, this is you, isn't it?

And I remember looking at my hands, and there was dry blood in between my nails.
