There he walks through his town
Like so many times before
He lived here for all his life
But it's not home anymore
Too much has changed, too much has gone
So have most people he knew
He had a use some time ago
Now there's nothing left to do
What he's got left is a head full of plans
What he's got left is much time on his hands
He's nobody now
But they will not forget his name
They will know that he was here
This town will never be the same
The people will say
That they never would've guessed
That he would change so many lives
He'll make an impact that will last
He used to have so many dreams
Very few of them came true
Still thinks he's got things to say
But he wouldn't know to who
He always gave and he hardly took
And now everything is gone
He always had so much to do
But what now that he's done
