Clinton McAlister - Farewell Lyrics

Locked in time as a friend
We'll never have to fight
No more scars to mend
It's farewell to you this time
Like so many before
When you left I heard the chime
I know who those wings were for
Watched the light
In your eyes dim
Well before they closed
Hoping your sacrifice
Will bring others life
The most painful lessons
Bring out the best in us
Just wish I would've learned
Before it got to this
You're in a place
Without pain
Your memory will never leave
Life won't be the same
As I wipe my face with my sleeve
A beacon in the darkest night
Even a hero can lose the fight
Watched the light
In your eyes dim
Well before they closed
Hoping your sacrifice
Will bring others life
The most painful lessons
Bring out the best in us
Just wish I would've learned
Before it got to this
