Echoes of a life
Resounding from in his soul
Sacrificed freedom cries
Echoes from a light
Reflections of his hard work
He was building his own life
For a soul meant to fly

He smiles like a little boy
No hope in his eyes
But cries like a grow man
Tears he never should have cried

Purity of a soul
So noble heart of gold
How easily falls apart
Then came the great war
Looking down with evil eyes
Filling his life with...with
Horrors better left behind

I will no forget
To sing of his song
With pride and with gratitude that the world
Couldn't show
I wish I could sit by your side once again
To hear of adventures
And to know how you are
I'll never understand
How we're forgotten him
He witnessed our births

Echoes of a life
Reaching out from his soul
Sacrificed freedom cries
For the old man's leaving now
Echoes from the light
Reflections of his hard work
He will rise with the
Memories of the time
Sounding forever
Echoes of his life
