A boy flies for freedom

But dies for the peace

In the clouds, he waits for an answer

But there's no release.

It's strange here without you

And it's so hard to see

So brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me.

Oh brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me.

I still see his shadow

His laugh lingers on

When I dream, we're all back together

When I wake, he's gone

It's strange here without you

This was not meant to be

So brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me.

And though we try to change the world

A flower when it's cut will surely die

So why do men with so much hate

Destroy what they cannot create

While we all stand by.

We will look back in anger

But you helped us to see

So brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me.

Oh brother up in heaven

Please wait up for me.
