((Verse 1))
Everybody knew
You bled red, white, and blue
You were dad, grandpa, and chief
And of you it is believed
Your greatest joy in life
Was to be with your wife
Friends, kids, and grandkids too
That’s how we’ll remember you
[Chorus]
Rest in peace
Naval chief
Favorite teacher
Rest in peace, Sir
And we will remember you
Bleeding green, red, white, and blue
((Verse 2))
Everyone could see
You bled dark amber green
It was your great pride and joy
To teach high school girls and boys
Not just lessons in school
But that respect is cool
So, yes sir, we will show
Respect wherever we go
[Chorus]
Rest in peace
Naval chief
Favorite teacher
Rest in peace, Sir
And we will remember you
Bleeding green, red, white, and blue
{Bridge}
You were strong
You were a fighter
Not for you but for family
Not for self but for country
So now as you set sail
Toward the horizon
I pray for you to find
Fair winds and following seas
[Chorus]
Rest in peace
Naval chief
Favorite teacher
Rest in peace, Sir
And we will remember you
Bleeding green, red, white, and blue
{Outro}
And now as you set sail
Toward the horizon
We pray for you to find
Fair winds and following seas
