Survive
He is survived by his wife and children.
But he is gone and how will they survive?
He is survived by his wife and children
They are waiting for the black car to arrive.
He is survived by his wife and children.
Once he was laughing and alive.
He is survived by his wife and children
The pension is in place but they still deprive.
He is survived by his wife and children.
They tried to save him and revive.
He is survived by his wife and children.
And the consume nibbles and imbibe.
He was young and fit and gave his life for the cause
His girls don’t understand that ‘Daddy won’t be home any more’
The flag, the band and loud applause
He gave his life for the brothers, the band, the corps.
And lives of women are changed in one fleeting moment
No condolence eases the pain, no cause justified by the proponent.
He is survived by his children and wife.
And today they start a new life.
At what cost?
