Lying here on the ground not cold any more
Eyes wide open, and the rain is beginning to pour.
I can see you kneeling there shedding tears for me.
Sure, but I can see you through these eyes.
Now I’m being loaded onto a chopper
There are more like me being loaded very proper.
These brothers are all dead; off we head into deep blue skies,
What a beautiful horizon, as we bank I can see all of you through these eyes.
At home again, in a casket, I recognize many people here
Mother and Dad, first time I’ve seen Dad shed a tear.
There is family and friends here all dressed in coat and ties.
They all look so sad but dignified; I can see them through these eyes.
Seems I’ve been gone for such a long time
I seem to be searching for something and a tall hill I must climb.
There are some of my brothers and family at the wall; it’s great to see you guys
My hill I have climbed, I know what I was searching for; I can see you through these eyes.
Time for you to go now, I know how you have felt for all these years
One last touch of my name and wipe away the tears.
I have only feelings of gratitude, love and brotherly ties,
It was sure great to see you all through these eyes.
