lyrics

We lost another one today
Did he have a cause to die for?
Did he leave behind a legacy?
Or is he just a, name on a stone?

Did he leave behind a family?
Was he content with life?
Was he all alone and angry?
Did he wish he had more time?

Well I knew the man
And he lived his life
For the one thing that we should

Well I knew the man
And he lived his life
For the one thing that we should

He said, "When I die,
I am going to take as many with me as I can.
He said, "When I die,
I'm going to take as many with me as I can."

And he succeeded

We lost another one today
Did he have a cause to die for?
Did he leave behind a legacy?
Or is he just another one gone?

Did his life have a meaning?
Did he leave a fire behind?
Or was he still searching
When he ran out of time?

Well I knew the man
And he lived his life
For the one thing that we should

Well I knew the man
And he lived his life
For the one thing that we should

He said, "When I die,
I am going to take as many with me as I can.
He said, "When I die,
I'm going to take as many with me as I can."

And he succeeded

I am so, so very, so very proud of you
You lived your, your whole life
You lived it for this day

We lost another one today
And he had a cause to die for
Yeah he left behind a legacy
He isn't just a, name on a stone
