Captain Dave (Feet. Lillia Lessev)

I hated you when I was young, but then again I also hated myself
We could never see eye to eye but we were different sides of the same coin
But as the years went by and the walls came down, I saw the world through your eyes
And through the few words that you had to say, I really learned to love you
You were the life of the party just like me, always spreading good vibes
You were a poet and a jester just like me but we both know the same darkness
My brother accidentally made a joke at your funeral, I could swear I heard you laugh
And where ever you are right now - I know you're laughing now

You're my silent hero, you helped everyone without making a sound
You're my silent hero, you always looked up when you're whole world looked down

You woke every morning with the sound of the birds, smiling like the sun
And on the melody of a mourning dove, you prayed for a better world
You were humble, modest, always the least, an honest man of God
But I'm wild like the wind, a child of the world but perhaps I'll still grow up
You saved the world so quietly like a thief in the night
And if you only ever spoke up perhaps we could have saved you too
So, so long captain Dave you are the captain of my ship
And when I sail into the setting sun, I'll find you there to meet me

You're my silent hero, you helped everyone without making a sound
You're my silent hero, you always looked up when you're whole world looked down

You're the salt of the earth
The residue of all that's left
When tears, when tears evaporate

You're the salt of the earth
The residue of all that's left
When tears, when tears evaporate

You're my silent hero, you helped everyone without making a sound
You're my silent hero, you always looked up when you're whole world looked down
