[Verse]
Grandpa’s chair, still sittin’ by the fire,
Memories linger, but the flames retire.
Hands like old oak, roots deep in the earth,
Taught me the weight of struggle, and the worth.
Your laugh echoes, ghost in the hall,
Photographs fade, but I recall it all.
Stories you told, wisdom laced in the seams,
Now you’re a shadow, living in my dreams.
[Chorus]
Rest in peace, you live in me,
Through every word, every breath I breathe.
Gone but never gone, I still believe,
Rest in peace, you live in me.
[Verse 2]
You moved slow, but your spirit moved fast,
Built a legacy, bricks from the past.
Calloused hands, cracked like the pavement,
But soft in love, a heart so patient.
Taught me to fish, taught me to fight,
Taught me to find calm in the darkest night.
Now I’m lost, map with no compass,
Carrying your lessons, heavy as a promise.
[Bridge]
Empty chair, still creaks in the wind,
Feel your voice in the silence within.
Tears fall heavy, they carve the stone,
But I stand tall ‘cause I’m never alone.
