You were born in 89, full of fight and fire
Raised by a queen who never let your flame expire
No father to guide you, but you found your own crown
Our very own prince with a laugh loud enough, it could shake the ground
As tall as the sky, with a sly crooked smile
Singing songs and cracking jokes that ran for miles
You were a walking contradiction
Both stubborn and kind
A beautiful mess with such a brilliant mind
Broken? Yea sure, but damn did you shine
Turned pain into laughter every single time
The world seems so much colder now that you’re not near
But we still hear your voice as if you were here
You were chaos and comfort all in one tune
Why’d god have to call you home so soon
We’d lose track of the hours, all those drinks and late night songs
You’d play your heart out as if nothing in the world was wrong
But behind those chords, behind every line
You searched for peace that you were never able to find
You made us all feel seen somehow
Though you couldn’t even love yourself out loud
Broken? Yeah sure, but you made us all whole
Lit up the darkness like a midnight soul
A rebel with loyalty carved in stone
Even in silence, you never left us alone
And when we close our eyes, we’ll swear it’s true
We’ll see our prince, we all loved and knew
You always acted like life was a game
Rolling dice, chasing dreams, out running with no shame
Broken? Yeah sure, but you made us all whole
Lit up the darkness like a midnight soul
So hears to the songs you never got to play
And the battles we’ll fight, to always defend your name
