Open a Window for a Hero

Under tonight's starry sky, we gather close

Lost but not forgotten, in our hearts he glows

Whiskey in our hands, memories in our souls

Calling out to heaven, where the good ones go

Jesus, if you hear me, lift a window in the sky

Tonight's a special night, we can’t let it pass us by

Paul Ryan Penn, a hero in our eyes

Served his country proud, with honor, strength, and pride

From battlefield to home, he’s a shining star

Guiding us through darkness, no matter where we are

We raise these shots in memory, of a life well-lived

A Marine, a brother, got so much love to give

Send him home, where he belongs, in eternal peace

Hold him close in your watch, may his soul find release

Can you open that window, let him see our cry?

From this snapshot of the night where heroes never die

We’re falling apart, but we’re holding tight

Remembering his courage, shining through the night

This is for you, brother, on this Wednesday night

Your call is over now, in heaven’s light

Let the stars hear our prayers, as we toast in his name

Feel his spirit near, like a gentle flame

In the quiet of this night, we find our strength

Knowing he's watching, beyond the length

So, Jesus Christ, open that window wide

So he can see how much we’ve cried

Forever in our hearts, forever our hero,

Rest easy now, till we meet in the glow.
