Bury him in a cold white cloud
Familiar faces wouldn't make him proud
The military and the working men
The history of the life he led
Can you feel the soil covering your coffin?
Can you feel?
So what are you gonna take?
Be the hero that your father was!
So what are you gonna do?
Be the man he meant you to be!
And you are your fathers son
Dear father, dear father
Be the hero that your father was!
Be the man he meant you to be!
The war-torn stories that he told you
You've got a hell of a life to live up to
An airborne man with a scar and wound
Never make a promise that you can't prove
Dear father, dear father
So what are you gonna take?
Be the hero that your father was!
So what are you gonna do?
Be the man he meant you to be!
And you are your fathers son
Dear father, dear father
Be the hero that your father was!
Be the man he meant you to be!
