Borneback - Kevin Lyrics

A typical young man
Another day in class
Sport star, works hard
Never looking back
His mind is set
He won't forget
There's no regret
And he knows which path to take

Helping and loving
He tries to be the best that he could be
He was always there
There for his family
A troubled sister and dad always gone
He took comfort in being there for mom

Father across the world
Not sure he'll make it back
Mom's alone, broken down
Like her life's offtrack
Dark times
Pitch black
They hit me hard
Like a knife in the back
My sister's never there
So lost and unaware
Carry on for myself and for this family
Dark times
Pitch black
They hit me hard like a knife in my back

Helping and loving
He tries to be the best that he could be
He was always there
There for his family
A troubled sister and dad always gone
He took comfort in being there for mom

While coming home one day
He sees his mother's tears
She's scared, unprepared
To face her greatest fear
Plane crashed
Dad's dead
He's gone forever
That's all that she said

The plane crashed
And dad's dead
He's gone forever
That's all that she said

Helping and loving
He tries to be the best that he could be
He was always there
There for his family
A changed sister and dad forever gone
He took comfort in being there for mom

My time has come
I'll follow in his shoes
I love you mom
You mean the world to me
My time has come
I'll follow in his shoes
I love you mom
You mean the world to me
