I saw it in his eyes in that hospital bed
When I looked into them during those last few conscious breaths
I heard it in his voice when he said
I'm proud of you and one day I'll see you again
Rise above, we've all been broken here on earth
We've all lost someone, it's for better not for worse
Make the most of your pain, just let it sink in
I survived while he was dying to live
Take my hand and feel the love again
We all need your heart in this
This room is cold and empty
And it's got me asking why he left so early
In d**h we learn the lessons, life could never teach
Rise above, we've all been broken here on earth
We've all lost someone, it's for better not for worse
Make the most of your pain, just let it sink in
I survived while he was dying to live
Take my hand and feel the love again
We all need your heart in this
"I wanna be scattered by the sea
As waves crash upon your feet
And if perhaps I lose this battle
The wind will finally set me free."
"I wanna be scattered by the sea
As waves crash upon your feet
And if perhaps I lose this battle
The wind will finally set me free."
There's a grand plan, don't you ever forget it
We'll tear down all these walls and finally start living
I'll see him again, when I start living in the moment
I watched him die but I survived
He was the man I always wanted to become
Rise above, we've all been broken here on earth
We've all lost someone, it's for better not for worse
Make the most of your pain, just let it sink in
I survived while he was dying to live
Take my hand and feel the love again
We're all here for you my friend
He lost the fight right there in that hospital bed
When I awoke that morning it all started to sink in
Those last words to me, I'll never forget
"I'm proud of you and one day I'll see you again."
