| You never bent, you always stood
|
| Could plainly tell the trees from wood
|
| You knew to part the wrong from right
|
| To coax the darkness into light
|
| You took me in when hope was lost
|
| You paid with no regard for cost
|
| You gave your time, you always found
|
| A way to keep my feet on the ground
|
| You never broke, you always healed
|
| And favored need above appeal
|
| You came, you saw, you mended foes
|
| An altruistic dynamo
|
| Now this endless elegy
|
| It sings to you
|
| My tormented memory
|
| It yearns for
|
| You never sold what can’t be bought
|
| Your majesty just can’t be taught
|
| You always stood on moral ground
|
| Provided hope when none was found
|
| You always gave with pure intent
|
| Regardless of the money spent
|
| You propped me up on broken feet
|
| And spread my wings so they could beat
|
| And now this endless elegy
|
| It breaks my heart
|
| Your eternal memory
|
| Tears me apart
|
| In your mourning
|
| Feel my wind blowing down
|
| My love shines
|
| Through the light of your darkness
|
| And now this endless elegy
|
| It praises you, it sings for you
|
| Never ending memory
|
| It yearns for you, it lives for you
|
| You soldier on, you don’t give in
|
| Keep pushing water up a hill
|
| You brought this heart back from the brink
|
| And gave this thirsty soul a drink
|
| From dust to dust, we live, we die
|
| Before we’ve grown we’re out of time
|
| And now you’re gone while justice cries
|
| I bury you with no goodbyes
|
| God has let you down
|
| God has let you down
|
| God has let you down
|
| And now this endless elegy
|
| God has let you down
|
| Never ending memory
|
| And now this endless elegy
|
| Your eternal memory |
