Echoes of a Life Lyrics

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 flyHe smiles like a little boy
No hope in his eyes
But cries like a grown man
Tears he never should have criedPurity of a soul
So noble heart of gold
How easily it falls apart
Then came that great war
Looking down with evil eyes
Filling his life with... with
Horrors better left behindI will not 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've forgotten him
He witnessed our births
