A Song for You

A song for you
I wrote in memory
As faint as anything
We etched into the walls
It’s all for you
We called the venomous
To silent strike on any vein
Like a bayonet array
In the afternoon

When did you
Fill out the melody
With sacred innocence
In the middle of the war
I fought for you
The pride in every light
That shined upon your face
From a memory erased
It’s all for you
We pledged to send a photograph
Of every frame, of every laugh
We meant to have
A song for you

A song for you
A song for you
It’s all for you
A song for you

A song for you
I wrote in memory
As faint as anything
We etched into the walls
It’s all for you
The pride of every light
That shined upon your face
Like a memory erased
A song for you
A song for you
A song for you

It’s all for you
A song for you
