It was late in the evening, I was sitting at my home
Mom called me, told me that you were leaving us too soon
I rushed through the dead of the night, just to be right by your side
I was there for your last breath, then reality struck the room
I don’t know how to carry on
It all struck so soon
The moment you had to leave, I had to carry on without you
Now I have the world on my shoulders and the weight keeps adding up
I’m doing my best to keep the ones I love safe
Cause that’s what I swore to you
I’ve been leading the family through all of this pain
Wishing everyday that it could be washed by the rain
The last thing that you and I were able to talk about, it was made crystal clear
You trusted me to protect them, to guide and lead without fear
I don’t know how to carry on
It all struck so soon
The moment you had to leave, I had to carry on without you
Now I have the world on my shoulders and the weight keeps adding up
I’m doing my best to keep the ones I love safe
Cause that’s what I swore to you
Four years on and we’re still together, our bonds never broken
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, or that promise that I made
But I’m finding my way through the flames and this I know it true
I’m honoring your wishes that you knew I would see through
At first I was afraid, didn’t know how to survive
But now through everything, I’m starting to come alive
I wish that I could hear your voice just one more time
To see if I have made you proud, to tell you about my life
Forever now until the end of time
I will continue to fight till my last day
Just like you symbolized
I’m continuing on the path you started down but I’m making it my own
All the while, still honoring that vow I swore to you
