Ignite Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pieter was a gift,
still in my head and he
Never thought just of himself,
put his friends and family first,
was our friend,
we miss him dearly
Pieter was a gift,
he's still in our head and he

Lived his dreams,
never thought of himself,
he was a man to everyone else,
he had his day,
he never mistreated,
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter,
live your dreams,
never thought of himself,
he was a man to everyone else,
he had his day,
never mistreated,
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter always
I said he led the way,
he's always a leader,
the stars that shine,
I know that it's Pieter,
we often pray for his family's wellbein',
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter,
lived his dreams,
never thought of himself,
was a man to everyone else,
he had his day but he never mistreated,
I have to say we'll always miss Pieter always

Pieter

You appreciate life,
you found the best in others,
you left this world one bit better,
lookin' over us from up in the sky,
Pieter, you left your mark,
you have succeeded,
I've seen his dedications toward the ocean,
I've seen his pride and joy within his father,
mother, sister, brother longin' for you,
we'll all meet again after this life's through

Inseparably connected for life of one mind,
we always share everything,
I'm so grateful,
we're friends for life,
we're one family,
problem is too great to solve,
together we're, oh, so strong,
we all come from, from the same tribe,
we're friends for life,
we're one family,
I've seen his dedication toward the ocean,
I've seen the pride and joy within his father,

mother, sister, brother longin' for you,
we'll all meet again after this life's through
