[Intro]
Silent park, quiet tears, morning's cold embrace
Echoes of a hero's sacrifice, time cannot erase
[Verse 1]
Sitting here in Ottawa’s dawn, shadows stretch and fade
Line of black SUVs roll in, a somber parade
Humvee leading the way, fate’s cruel hand displayed
I gaze up, heart sinking, in the morning’s muted shade
[Pre-Chorus]
A stranger’s voice, a fragile truth, cuts through my soul
'Paul passed away,' he says, my heart, no longer whole
In this moment of despair, I feel the cold
Goodbye, my brother, the stories shared, the hero, the soul
[Chorus]
Here comes goodbye, tears falling like rain
A life too short, lost in the pain
His sacrifice, a timeless ring
In our hearts, forever reigns
Here comes goodbye, in the silent sky
We remember, we remember, why he had to fly
His courage, a shining light
In our hearts, shining bright
[Verse 2]
Nearly twenty-four years of service, give it all, stand tall
Blood, sweat, tears, hero's call, answering through it all
Morning breaks, my world shakes, I can't believe it's him
In the stillness, memories flow, brimming on a whim
[Pre-Chorus]
Condolences, silent prayers, honoring his deed
A brother lost, yet in our hearts, he leads
A soldier’s love, a hero’s deed, fulfills a noble creed
Goodbye, my brother, forever you’ll lead
[Chorus]
Here comes goodbye, tears falling like rain
A life too short, lost in the pain
His sacrifice, a timeless ring
In our hearts, forever reigns
Here comes goodbye, in the silent sky
We remember, we remember, why he had to fly
His courage, a shining light
In our hearts, shining bright
[Bridge]
In the quiet park, I kneel and pray
For those who serve, who gave their day
A hero’s story, etched in time
Forever etched in this heart of mine
[Outro]
So here’s to you, brave and true
We’ll carry on, inspired by you
Goodbye, dear brother, till we meet anew
In the dawn’s first light, in skies so blue
