Verse 1
How can you die
But live on forever
How do you show
That you aren't scared
How to you hold our world
On your shoulders
When i see you
I see a hero standing there
Verse 2
Why don't you run
And escape the torture
Why don't you leave
That world behind
Why do you take all the pain
That isn't yours to hold inside
When i think of you, A hero's on my mind
Verse 3
What if i said
I'd follow your footsteps
What if i'm sure
It should have been me instead
What if i can't
Get what you stood for, out of my head
It kills me to remember
My greatest hero's dead
Verse 4
Where do you find
All the answers
Where can you see
True sacrifice
Where do i go to ask
All thesse questions on my mind
When i remember your face
There was a hero in your eyes
Chorus
Why do we lose, Why do we let
Our hearts forget
Everything you've ever done.
All our battles that you've won
Why don't we stop
Why don't we share
How much we care
About you and where you stand
But we can't understand
It's a cause worht giving more
Help me remember why; you died
For a cause worth fighting Fore
Closer
I stand alone, where you lie forever
I stand alone, can't say goodbye
They say i'm just like you
Except i know i'm too scared to die
This is about my cousin, who died about a week before i was born. A lot of people say I'm so much like he was, and i always wanted to ask him so many questions.
He was a Marine
This goes out to all in the Armed Forces.
