Captain Dave (Feet. Lillia Lessev)

I hated you when I was young, but then again I also hated myself We could never see eye to eye but we were different sides of the same coin But as the years went by and the walls came down, I saw the world through your eyes And through the few words that you had to say, I really learned to love you You were the life of the party just like me, always spreading good vibes You were a poet and a jester just like me but we both know the same darkness My brother accidentally made a joke at your funeral, I could swear I heard you laugh And where ever you are right now - I know you're laughing now You're my silent hero, you helped everyone without making a sound You're my silent hero, you always looked up when you're whole world looked down You woke every morning with the sound of the birds, smiling like the sun And on the melody of a mourning dove, you prayed for a better world You were humble, modest, always the least, an honest man of God But I'm wild like the wind, a child of the world but perhaps I'll still grow up You saved the world so quietly like a thief in the night And if you only ever spoke up perhaps we could have saved you too So, so long captain Dave you are the captain of my ship And when I sail into the setting sun, I'll find you there to meet me You're my silent hero, you helped everyone without making a sound You're my silent hero, you always looked up when you're whole world looked down You're the salt of the earth The residue of all that's left When tears, when tears evaporate You're the salt of the earth The residue of all that's left When tears, when tears evaporate You're my silent hero, you helped everyone without making a sound You're my silent hero, you always looked up when you're whole world looked down
