Forever in Our Hearts

[Intro]
From the quiet of an evening, I hear his voice in the wind
Echoes of a brother, lost too soon, never to return again

[Verse 1]
He was just a boy with dreams too big for his little hands
Volunteered with a fearless heart, took a stand for his homeland’s land
Pictures on the mantle, smiles frozen in time’s hold
A man in a young boy’s body, stories left untold

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder if he’s watching from some distant, starry sky
Wishing he could tell us, it’s okay to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Oh, brother, you left without a warning, changed our world overnight
Your laughter rings in memories, shining through the night
The family’s broken, we’re aching, holding on to what we knew
Forever in our hearts, I still remember you

[Verse 2]
Mama’s silent tears fall like rain, dad’s shadow grows long and cold
Every corner of this house whispers tales of what we hold
We try to carry on, but the pain’s a weight too tough to bear
Living with the silence, with a love that’s everywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wonder if you’re watching from some distant, starry sky
Wishing you could tell us, it’s okay to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Oh, brother, you left without a warning, changed our world overnight
Your laughter rings in memories, shining through the night
The family’s broken, we’re aching, holding on to what we knew
Forever in our hearts, I still remember you

[Bridge]
Time keeps on moving, but it’s paved with your name
A hero we cherish, though it’s filled with pain
We wear our grief like a coat, stitched with love and tears
Waiting for the day we’re with you, beyond these fears

[Outro]
So here’s to you, my brother, gone but never truly gone
In every prayer and every sunrise, your legacy lives on
Until we meet again in that peaceful place above
You’ll forever be our hero, our brother, our love
