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
