Elegy

You never bent, you always stood
 Could you plainly tell the trees from wood
 You knew to part the wrong from right
 To coax the darkness into light
 You took me in when hope was lost
 You paid with no regard for cost
 You gave your time, you always found
 A way to keep my feet on the ground
 You never broke, you always healed
 And favored need above appeal
 You came, you saw, you mended foes
 An altruistic dynamo
 Now this endless elegy
 It sings to you
 My tormented memory
 It yearns for
 You never sold what can't be bought
 Your majesty just can't be taught
 You always stood on moral ground
 Provided hope when none was found
 You always gave with pure intent
 Regardless of the money spent
 You propped me up on broken feet
 And spread my wings so they could beat
 And now this endless elegy
 It breaks my heart
 Your eternal memory
 Tears me apart
 In your mourning
 Feel my wind blowing down
 My love shines
 Through the light of your darkness
 And now this endless elegy
 It praises you, it sings for you
 Never ending memory
 It yearns for you, it lives for you
 You soldier on, you don't give in
 Keep pushing water up a hill
 You brought this heart back from the brink
 And gave this thirsty soul a drink
 From dust to dust, we live, we die
 Before we've grown we're out of time
 And now you're gone while justice cries
 I bury you with no goodbyes
 God has let you down
 God has let you down
 God has let you down
 And now this endless elegy
 God has let you down
 Never ending memory
 And now this endless elegy
 Never ending memory
