what it means to make a man proud
when he is in the ground
when he is earth matter turned to ash
is like to scream with no sound
to see with no color
to paint without joy
to dream a bitter vision
of a sweet little boy

i will paint your pictures
i will see in vivid rays
i will make you proud
and make for better days

i will pick the pieces up
i will till the land
i will do it all
i will be the man

what it means to make a dead man proud
i will never know
but i will do it all
instead of letting go
