Lyrics
The day the flag was folded The sky went iron gray They said you died a hero But that don’t dull the blade Your boots were in the hallway Your truck still in the drive And every mile of memory Still says you’re alive
They told me time would heal it Like time heals broken bone
But heaven holds a piece of my blood A fire I can’t reclaim A brother carved in my bones A voice inside my name And no prayer ever spoken No tear the night has known Can bring back the heartbeat Heaven took from home
Your jacket smells like cedar Like the hills we used to ride And every scar you carried Still walks here at my side I hear you in the thunder Rolling through the plains Like a rider in the storm wind Calling through the rain
Some losses ain't a moment They're a life you learn to hold
Heaven holds a piece of my blood A fire I can’t reclaim A brother carved in my bones A voice inside my name And no prayer ever spoken No tear the night has known Can bring back the heartbeat Heaven took from home
The Romans raised their banners For the sons they lost in war But the truest grief a man can know Is silence at his door Where the laughter used to live Where the stories used to run And the house feels like a battlefield After the battle’s done
But I swear the wind still carries you Across the wheat and stone
Heaven holds a piece of my blood But the rest still walks with me Every mile I keep riding Every prayer on my knees And when my trail grows quiet Under God’s endless dome I’ll shake your hand in heaven… And we’ll ride back home
