Got the news the other day,
A child's innocence taken away
(You were never scared, I'll always care)
Grandson to son and a memory we'll never lose in time

Am I making you proud of me?
'Cause I know you can hear me

You were too young, too fast for you to go
And now I don't understand why
I can't stand to watch a mother and father cry
I look up to you

Four years your younger brother caused me to always wonder why
(If it's the only way, I'll talk to you)
Home is not home, I swear I'll still see you
I miss you

Am I making you proud of me?
'Cause I know you can hear this

You were too young, too fast for you to go
And now I don't understand why
I can't stand to watch a mother and father cry
I look up to you
