Free Spirit
You fly so high to touch the sky.
As the eagle soars, as the teardrops pour.
Such a fine lad--
Such a young, tender age.
So many dreams and plans left to wither and fade,
As you ascend on to greater heights;
You fly so high to touch the sky.
As the eagle soars, as our teardrops pour--
You fly upward, upward to be with our Lord.
We love you, son--
Oh, our Brian, our Brian.
