Emily's Army - 18 Years

He spent 18 years livin life to the brim
He fought harder than men two times as strong
I don't think there was a day when I saw him complain
somethin higher come and help me carry on
He was more than a friend to all of us
his selflessness was why he held on for so long
if I'm have the man that he was
Id be a man worth watchin carry on

And I won't be fine but thanks for askin
my heart is heavier than your lead
it dont seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
lord above why do you leave us all for dead?

He spent 18 years livin life to the utmost
shifted my entire paradigm
not a minute goes by where i dont think of all those days
in that short lived 18 years careening by

And I won't be fine but thanks for askin
my heart is heavier than your lead
it dont seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
lord above why do you leave us all for dead?

And I won't be fine but thanks for askin
my heart is heavier than your lead
it dont seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
lord above why do you leave us all for dead?

And I won't be fine but thanks for askin
my heart is heavier than your lead
it dont seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
lord above why do you leave us all for dead?
