Your heavy boots stood by the door
I used to try them on
And march around the kitchen floor
But then one day you were gone
I still can smell the cedar wood and smoke
And hear the final promises you spoke
They say you were a hero on that night
When the sirens screamed into the dark
But to me, you were just my morning light
A quiet giant leaving his mark (oh-oh-oh)
I keep your silver badge in hand
It shines against the dust
And now I finally understand
The weight of love and trust
They say you were a hero on that night
When the sirens screamed into the dark
But to me, you were just my morning light
A quiet giant leaving his mark
I still wear your boots sometimes... (mhmmm)
