Great Man Down

Another great man is gone
But his songs will live forever
And they’ll never die
For decades he carved
His words in our hearts
The master, the legend now lies
With honour and pride
He walked through his life
Sometimes it was far too hard
He stood like a man
Defending his land
Got beaten, rejected, got scarred
Another great man is down
Only hero around
The soldier of our times
Never listened, never cared
For the words that they said
So he paid for his crimes
These are the stories and songs
From the land of ten thousand lakes
The stories where heroes will never die
These are the stories and songs
From the land of ten thousand lakes
The stories and songs
Where the great one will always rise
Another man, brave and tall
He took care of us all
Never bent under pressure or pain
With a heart like the sun
He stood tall and wouldn’t run
Away from the wind and the rain
There are the stories and songs…
So the story goes on
And years go by
That’s for sure
Memories will live forever
And we’ll be singing along
