Bury him in a cold white cloud Familiar faces wouldn't make him proud The military and the working men The history of the life he led Can you feel the soil covering your coffin? Can you feel?
So what are you gonna take? Be the hero that your father was! So what are you gonna do? Be the man he meant you to be! And you are your fathers son Dear father, dear father Be the hero that your father was! Be the man he meant you to be!
The war-torn stories that he told you You've got a hell of a life to live up to An airborne man with a scar and wound Never make a promise that you can't prove
Dear father, dear father
So what are you gonna take? Be the hero that your father was! So what are you gonna do? Be the man he meant you to be! And you are your fathers son Dear father, dear father Be the hero that your father was! Be the man he meant you to be!
