Wish You Were Here

I remember the day I carried my best friend to his grave I put him back down into the earth Into the soil from which we came I never felt pain like this before I never felt pain like this before Have you ever wrapped your arms around the grave Of a father who lost the son of his dreams Life comes fast But death comes faster Any moment we could stand Face to face with our master This is nothing new To all who breathe the same air Step up to reality Step down from your first-world misery You've got breath in your lungs And that's potential to fight for Many have been through worse than me I'm not trying to compare our suffering I just want to emphasize Appreciation for family, friends, and life Death is just shots fired in the dark Chance is just shots fired in the dark As the night went on His dinner grew colder Just like his little sister With no brother to hold her And as the news poured out On that night of dreadful wonder All the color was stolen From the lives of his father and mothers Thanks for all the good times And all the things you taught us We will never forget you Just like you never forgot us We'll press on We'll press on Oh how we wish you were here We'll press on Oh how we wish you were here We will press on Oh how we wish you were here We'll press on Oh how we wish you were here We will press on
