Arms of steel, hair of gold
Royal blue eyes with a rebel soul
You scared me, you still do
But I loved you
More than you ever knew

This is my act of remembrance
My act of remembrance

Doctor's face said the time had come
I stood up and began to run
My boy's voice called your name
You roared back and the silence came

This is my act of remembrance
My act of remembrance

Drove my car to your street
Hoped a ghost I would meet
Well, that ghost he's moved on, yeah
But his anger, dad, is it gone?
Is the pain gone, is it all gone?

This is my act of remembrance, oh
My act of remembrance, oh, oh
This is my act of remembrance, oh, yeah, yeah
