ฟังเพลงMy Grandfather

When I was born my grandfather

Held me in his warm hands

And it seems though his eyes are teary

But it’s hard to tell from an old photograph

While my brother and sister danced

At the feet of his tired and weathered frame

He said there’s a light to this boy I’ve ever seen

And there he gave me my name

Well my grandfather was a sniper

In the Red Army

He never had any brothers in arms

From the both side that stood enemy

Will the cold and unbroken Will due to survive

His steady hand took care

And he drank just enough to keep him in a safe form

For he never spoke his true name

When I was a boy the summer was at house

He would take me down to the sea

And standing on the water edge

And watch me go crazy

As the gentle waves rolled in

Looking back I wonder how it must have felt

Watching me and running so free

All the years in his life he wished he could forget

Did he look at the world through me

When I was a man I flew across the Ocean

When I heard he needed care

I listened as he spoke about his turbulent life

From his ordinary chair

And he ended by saying

„Oh I’ve had enough

The time has come for me to go

I have only one wish

That is left in me

To be taken peacefully”

Just before I was due to marry

I heard he could not walk anymore

It was then he gave up fight

I’ve say goodbye

Almost one year before

And I’ll never forget something he told me

He said”it’s a cruel world but you must live without fear”

Well I sure miss my grandfather

He’s the reason why I’m here
