Brian's Star
He left in August of '05
He was so excited; He was so alive
He was confident and even bold
When he told me his blue star
Wouldn't change to gold
I was scared to leave him alone
I cried and cried the whole drive home
He left and flew over the sea
The first thing he did was contact me
To tell me "see, I told you so"
because his blue star
Hadn't changed to gold
We spoke almost every day
He made it seem like he wasn't away
But at night I'd get scared and cold
While I prayed for his blue star
To never change to gold
That November night I heard the bell
It turned into a living hell
They told me he'd be coming back
Far too early from Iraq
That's the night that I was told
That his blue star
had changed to gold
He left for Heaven
He'd never grow old
Because his blue star
Was now gold
