[Intro]
Turning wheels on tarmac, black sky in the back
Honors in the air, silence cuts like a blade
Tonight we remember, under starry eyes
A hero's farewell, in the solemn skies
[Verse 1]
He soared beyond the clouds, sworn to serve and defend
A Marine with a heart of gold, on him we depend
Twenty-four years of sacrifice, a life laid on the line
Studying shadows of a blast, fighting through the signs
[Pre-Chorus]
For family, for country, he stood tall despite the fade
In the face of danger, knowing the risk he had made
Radiation’s silent threat, a cancer that grew slow
But his courage never flickered, in the storms he would go
[Chorus]
Fly high, brave warrior, with the flag in your sight
In the skies you’re free now, shining in the night
For the fallen, for the fearless, for the ones who gave all
Your legacy’s forever, answering the patriotic call
[Bridge]
Even when shadows darken, and the world’s in its fight
His spirit’s still with us, burning bright
A silent prayer echoes, as the jets salute above
A Marine’s true honor, in the stars they speak of
[Outro]
Now the plane’s in silence, but his story remains
In the winds and the memories, through joy and pain
We remember your valor, your courage, your fight
Rest in peace, brave hero, fade into the night
