Smile at everyone

So, the plane fell down and the pilot never got to see

the hero he became on international TV

and even though the photo shown looked kind of old

the story of his life was beautifully told

when he was young he used to smile at everyone

now he's gone

even though he's no part of your life

there's a feeling of loss that you just can't put aside

then at one point you forget how to spell his name

and what breaks your heart, is how you manage to stay the same

when he was young he used to smile at everyone

now he's gone
