Why Did You Have to Go?

Searching for answers in the silent night,

Lost in the echoes of a brother’s life.

Why did you go, so young and bright?

Leaving us with shadows, chasing your light.

You stood tall, a giant in our eyes,

A teddy bear with a smile that could clear the skies.

Forty-nine years of love and pride,

A warrior for the good, you never lied.

Every day, the pain just won’t fade,

Questions in my mind that I can’t evade.

Why send him to the dangerous zone?

Left us here, so lost and alone.

Oh, why did you have to go?

Leaving us in the shadows of sorrow.

Why did fate take your breath away?

Missing you more with each passing day.

You fought for us, for freedom's sake,

A hero’s heart, no fear to break.

Now we hold your memory tight,

Guiding us through the darkest night.

Maybe someday I’ll understand,

Why heaven’s call was in your hand.

Until then, we’ll carry your love,

Forever blessed by the star above.
