Story behind the song
A song dedicated to my grandfather Gerard Provost. He was captured and held prisoner during WWII. A brave man who later lost his life because of the war. I truly believe that heaven is full of young, brave men (and women) who served, fought for, and won our freedom.
Lyrics
Heaven
Gerard was the lucky one, he looked beyond his years, except to mom
He knew that he has lost his dad some 20 years before, in a world gone mad
Heaven, Heaven's full of younger men (2X)
Even though they'd won that war, the loss was hard to take, He'd take no more
He signed up for the RAF to fly up in the sky, where he met his death
Heaven, Heaven's full of younger men (2X)
Only God knows the count of all the men we've lost due to war
