Sitting at the table, staring at my front door
Remembering the days when we used to walk and talk
About everything and nothing
It was just a year ago when you took me with you
Put me on a plane and said
– “We’re gonna have a great time together!”
And we did, yes we did!
So we walked and talked, smiled and laughed
We took the car and drove it far away
Just to spend some time
I miss you like crazy when the future looks hazy
Never really got how much safe you made me feel
Now, looking back in time, I see the sacrifice
The many times you and mum paid the cost
So me and my brothers had enough
Yes, you did it out of love
You were a man of faith, were a man of grace
Never quit the chase
Always taught us the way to God
How grateful we are
A lost bullet took you away
Stole the chance for another day
But I still hope to see you again
Wish I could go back in time
And tell you of my endless pride
To have someone like you
