The death of a man is never a special thing,
unless he was somehow important to you.
You never think of
all
the
concenquences...
until it happens to you.

Little child crying on the side corner of a street,
but you never stopped to ask her why she was.
Watch all those tears
hit
the
ground...
for someone she loves.

All the people are reading the headlines today,
it seems that someone special has passed on.
Watch the little son
salute
the
flag...
of his passing father.

The man responsible is gone for taking our superhero,
the pioneer of the future, the man America loved.
Watch the people
remember
his
name...
and honor his memory.
