Shell of a Man - Roll of the Dice Lyrics

From my very first memory
I could feel the love you had for me
The cornerstone of our family
How did I get so lucky
Your very presense made me happy
I never feared being lonely
The cornerstone of our family
How did we get so lucky

I wish I knew what was coming
The winds of change would affect our course
Our world would never be the same
I want to believe you would have liked
This song for you

Your body left broken but your soul remains
I promise I'll make you proud some day
A mighty champion for all to emulate
I trust you knew the impact that you'd made
I miss you

Take it from me that life's not fair
What you get is a roll of the dice
To and fro and pendulum throws
Where it stops, no one knows
I wanna make you proud
I wanna make you proud
I wanna make you proud
I will make you proud
