A listless gaze Through tear stained eyes A father shares his warm goodbye Live for the truth Don't suffer lies Keep your head up Now don't you cry I watch my hero fade away Stay logical I struggle for the words to say Can't lose control Can't reach the bottom now and lose my soul Won't pretend that this This is anything Anything more than the logical end My friend Thanks for the memories You've been a godsend
Keep your head up Back straight Don't linger on the words to say Be strong Take the pain And save it for another day
The truth may hurt The lies will last The truth may hurt But the lies last forever
When I fade away When I fade away Will all my memories dissolve And leave a shadow of dismay Or will I be a light Will I be a light That brings you a warm smile A gentle hand that guides the way
More stone for the castles of man We'll build another empire here Where we stand We never have to see A logical end As long as we live
Keep your head up Back straight Don't linger on the words to say Be strong Take the pain And save it for another day Don't fade away Save it for another day Don't fade away Save it for another day Don't fade away Don't fade away Don't fade away
