[Verse 1]
He shows up with help in his hands
Rice in the sack, hope in the plan
Blankets for mothers, books for the kids
Quiet good work, that’s how he lives
He sees the hurt, he steps right in
Gives what he can, then gives again
No loud parade, no empty fame
Just Francis Godspeed, remember the name
[Pre-Chorus]
When the road gets rough
He calls us up
Take care, take care
Look out for one another there
[Chorus]
Francis Godspeed
Stand up for the weak
Francis Godspeed
Safety on the street
Ride with respect
Keep your helmet tight
Slow for the bend
Come home tonight
Francis Godspeed
That’s the way to lead
(Francis Godspeed)
[Verse 2]
At the roundabout, he says slow down
Eyes on the lane, both feet on the ground
No chasing pride, no racing through
A life is sacred, every turn you do
He talks to the youth in the market yard
“Your home is waiting, don’t ride too hard”
Use your lights, keep your distance clean
Respect every stop, keep the whole road seen
[Pre-Chorus]
When the sirens cry
He’s by your side
Take care, take care
Every journey needs some prayer
[Chorus]
Francis Godspeed
Stand up for the weak
Francis Godspeed
Safety on the street
Ride with respect
Keep your helmet tight
Slow for the bend
Come home tonight
Francis Godspeed
That’s the way to lead
(Francis Godspeed)
[Bridge]
For every hand he lifts
For every wrong he mends
For every child he shields
For every street he tends
We learn to love out loud
We learn to move with care
A better world is built
When people choose to share
[Final Chorus]
Francis Godspeed
Stand up for the weak
Francis Godspeed
Safety on the street
Ride with respect
Keep your helmet tight
Slow for the bend
Come home tonight
Francis Godspeed
That’s the way to lead
(Francis Godspeed)
Francis Godspeed
That’s the way to lead
