[Verse 1]
Headlines screaming on my phone
Another picture
Frozen stone
You were laughing there in better days
Now it’s candles on the driveway
You walked tall when the fire came
Took the heat
Never bowed to shame
You held tight to a battered book
Now the world can’t bear to look
[Chorus]
Charlie
Soldier of God
Torn from the arms of the ones that you love
Charlie
We’re carrying on
You bled for your beliefs
But your fire lives on
Charlie
Soldier of God
[Verse 2]
Your kid asking where you went
Kitchen table
Hollow chair
Dent
Your old cap on the dashboard still
Truck parked on that same small hill
They can spin it
Twist your name
Say you walked into the flame
But we know how the story reads
You stood firm for your faith
For your creed
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Coward pulled the trigger
Then he ran
But he never had a fraction of your stand
We’re the echo of the courage that you gave
Shouting your name at the edge of the grave
[Chorus]
