[Intro]
Smoke rising at dawn, feels like a thousand years loss
Stories left unsaid, a cross I never could toss
[Verse 1]
Swore I'd be a hero, chasing lights in the night
Flames and sirens called me, but couldn't make it right
Grandpa's old stories, roots in Indiana soil
Aim for the sky, but sometimes life just uncoils
[Pre-Chorus]
Wake up in the shadows, where my fears reside
Heart heavy with memories I can’t divide
[Chorus]
Proud if you see me, from the great beyond
Walking this lonely road, where I belong
Lost in the echoes, of dreams I can't show
Trying to find peace, in this quiet country glow
[Verse 2]
Traded the ambulance for empty hands, struggling to stand
Farmer’s fields whisper, wish I knew where I was land
Countless nights wondering, if I ever made you proud
Drowning in the silence, head held low in this lonely cloud
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes on the horizon, hoping for a sign
Holding onto love, that’s pure and divine
[Chorus]
Proud if you see me, from the great beyond
Walking this lonely road, where I belong
Lost in the echoes, of dreams I can't show
Trying to find peace, in this quiet country glow
[Bridge]
Mama’s tears, papa’s pride, still in my mind
Fighting through this darkness, till I find that light
Hope’s just a whisper, in the fields of Indiana
One day I’ll find my way, where my soul will be free
[Outro]
So here I stand, in the rain and the dust
Living and loving, in the dreams I must
Know you’re watching, from the endless blue
Grandpa, I still wanna make you proud too
