[Intro]
Silent whispers in the breeze, I come to visit you today
A cold one in my hand, just like we used to pour back in the day
Thought I'd find some peace, but the heartache won't fade away
Sitting here at your resting place, with stories only we can say
[Verse 1]
Remember those nights, chasing stars, dreaming big and wild
Laughter in our lungs, like a child
Now I sit here alone, with the weight of a world unjust
Raise this bottle high, for a hero, I trust
[Pre-Chorus]
You wore the uniform with pride, always brave, always true
I miss those times, I miss you
But today I pay my respects, with a drink and a silent prayer
My best friend, forever there
[Chorus]
So I’ll drink a beer for you, my brother in arms
Toast to the brave who keeps us safe from harm
Though you’re gone, your spirit’s here to stay
Every day, in a special way
Drink a beer for the fallen, for the lives you led
For the stories left unsaid
Sitting here with memories, and sometimes tear
Cheers to you, my friend, yeah, I’ll drink a beer
[Bridge]
Flags fly high, over this quiet land
Your sacrifice was made with open hand
Here’s to the days, to all we’d planned
Forever in our hearts, you’ll forever stand
[Outro]
So I’ll raise this glass, one last toast to you
In this sacred place, so true
Always in my heart, always near
Rest easy, my friend, I’ll drink a beer
[Fingerstyle Guitar Solo]
