Lyrics
One less man to carry the name Everyone guilty, no one to blame Inflicted on you, too much pain Nothing now will be the same With father knowing what would come He led the way and made us numb Words were silent, mouths were dumb It seemed a fitting end to some One less song to tickle our ears Fate stands accused, stolen years You braved the storm, the flash-flood of tears You were stronger than your fears Now mother, mourning still her son Prays your life has just begun Finding an answer where there was none Her faith restored, you were the one Your courage made us all discover Some things lost we can't recover Now we comfort one another Save a place for us my brother One less Bird to roam the sky Forever we could wonder why And yet we know you're flying high Looking down to say don't cry Our sisters' quiet pain is heard One's vision of the future blurred Another clinging to the Word The youngest driven by what's occurred Your courage made us all discover Some things lost we can't recover Now we comfort one another Save a place for us my brother Well you were too young And it seems so wrong It's not supposed to be this way And the last time I Looked into your eyes I didn't know what else to say But save a place for us Lyrics: Jeff Johnson Music: Robert Johnson
