Lyrics

Hook
We pour one out for the soldiers we miss
Names in the wind that we still reminisce
Some gone too early, some never got old
But the stories they left us are worth more than gold
We pour one out, let the memories ride
Carry their spirit wherever we stride
Tears on the pavement, prayers in the sky
The body may leave, but the love never dies
Verse 1
I still remember them summer nights on the block
Dreams bigger than the corners where we used to talk
Young hearts chasing something nobody could see
Trying to become the men we believed we could be
Some caught cases, some caught blessings
Some took wrong turns at difficult intersections
Some never made it past twenty-five years old
Now their names live forever in the stories told
Mama still keep their pictures in the hallway
Grandma still whisper their names when she pray
And every family gathering got an empty seat
A painful reminder of who we wish could eat
Hook
We pour one out for the soldiers we miss
Names in the wind that we still reminisce
Some gone too early, some never got old
But the stories they left us are worth more than gold
We pour one out, let the memories ride
Carry their spirit wherever we stride
Tears on the pavement, prayers in the sky
The body may leave, but the love never dies
Verse 2
I've seen tough men cry at funerals quietly
Trying to stay strong while drowning internally
Life keeps moving, that's the part that hurts most
The world don't stop, even after losing those close
I talk to heaven when the nights get cold
Asking old friends if they watching my road
Wonder if they see every victory I claim
Or hear me every time I mention their name
Because success feel different when your people ain't here
Every celebration got a little bit of tears
Every mountain I climb, every blessing I touch
Makes me wish they could've seen it all with us
Bridge
The candles still burning
The memories still alive
The lessons still guiding us
Helping us survive
Though the seasons keep changing
And years keep rolling on
The love never leaves us
Even when you're gone
Final Hook
We pour one out for the soldiers we miss
Names in the wind that we still reminisce
Some gone too early, some never got old
But the stories they left us are worth more than gold
We pour one out, let the memories ride
Carry their spirit wherever we stride
Tears on the pavement, prayers in the sky
The body may leave...
But the love never dies.
Outro
For every brother...
For every sister...
For every dream that lives on...
Keep your head up.
Keep moving forward.
And remember...
Their chapter ended.
Their impact didn't.
