18 Years - Emily's Army

He spent 18 years living life to the brim

He fought harder than men two times as strong

I don’t think there was a day where I saw him complain

Something 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 half the man that he was

I’d be a man worth watching carry on

And I won’t be fine but thanks for asking

My heart is heavier than your lead

It don’t seem right to trade a dollar for a dime

Lord above why do you leave us all for dead?

He spent 18 years living life to the utmost

Shifted my entire paradigm

Not a minute goes by where I don’t think of all those days

In that short lived 18 years careening by

And I won’t be fine but thanks for asking

My heart is heavier than your lead

It don’t 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 asking

My heart is heavier than your lead

It don’t 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 asking

My heart is heavier than your lead

It don’t seem right to trade a dollar for a dime

Lord above why do you leave us all for dead?
