The pain I felt tonight The pain I felt was real A man I hardly know The pain I saw him feel A man brought to his knee In the ice and all the snow A pain so very strong I hope to never know A warrior all the day But inside a bigger fight Hidden far away But out it came tonight The hurt he let me see The way he feels alone He spoke tonight to me The hurt he feels from home A friend forever lost A friend I do not know The pain in him it caused A friend he can’t let go A decade now has passed And still he cries today The brother that he had Who took his life away I never thought a man Built so hard and strong Would tell the saddest story Would sing the saddest song
