There were times of struggle, there were times of joy
There's still a lot of pain inside that hopeful little boy
You found light inside my darkness wrongs and made them right
You heard everything I said and more you taught me how to fight
Oh you're gone you're gone, but you live on and on
Your wisdom was as plain as day it flowed just like a well
I feel it wash upon me anytime I might need help
Your hugs were like the ones I missed from all my other days
And because it had true meaning there was little else to say
Oh you're gone you're gone, but you live on and on
Your words could wrap around my heart and guide me through the day
I can hear your voice it's laughing because laughter is the way
So now when I'm stuck inside my mind as I've been recently
I just think of all the love you gave and planted inside of me
Oh you're gone you're gone, but you live on and on
