never thought i'd be this cold again
december found me near
and january's waiting
but you're not waiting here
and i must say i long to see the day
when i see flowers on your grave
but i only long to see that day because
you will know no pain
have you ever seen a strong man fall to his knees
have you ever seen a strong man fall so helpless
the hands that held me proud when i was just a child
cannot hold me now
and the hands that could not wrap around one finger
are fumbling with this pencil
because i should write you something as a tribute to your life
something grand and majestic
you loved us all so well but
there is nothing storybook or epic
about the father of my father reduced to a child
have you ever seen a strong man fall to his knees
have you ever seen a strong man fall helpless
i've spent my life fifteen-hundred miles away
you spent your life you gave it
have you ever seen a strong man fall to his knees
have you ever seen a strong man fall so helpless
have you ever seen a strong man fall to his knees
a strong man has fallen helpless
have you ever seen a strong man fall...
