Now that it's time to say good-bye
I can't believe how time did fly
Just to know how it was not long ago
That we sat fighting using every bad word we know
I know that you will make us proud, everyone knows that's true
But I hope you're not doing this to prove something, unless it is to you
I want to say don't be a hero, so that you wont be harmed
But in the end how would you feel, knowing what you could have disarmed
So I say good man, go try you best, I know it is enough
And if they say it's not, well then for them that's just too tough
They lost someone whose heart was true, who would've stayed until the end
So say to them screw you, too, because you make a better friend
To my friend who I've known for most of my life who has joined the U.S. Marines and is leaving at 2:30am 1-24-05
