Opa hit the road so young and free
Fifteen years and a family to flee
His hands gripped the wheel so tight
Guiding kin through darkest night
Lost his father on the way
Found him 'gain one fateful day
Life was tough but Opa's strong
Held the family all along
Opa's heart a living flame
Burning bright through war and pain
Built a family strong and true
From his heart our love just grew
Married love a bond so pure
Children came their future sure
Built a life from roots so deep
Stories that our hearts will keep
Through the years his hair turned white
Memories bring him back to life
Lived his tale of courage bold
Opa's legacy unfolds
Opa's strength he never missed
Through every storm and every twist
Years rolled by and wrinkles came
Still he stood as a burning flame
Opa's heart a living flame
Burning bright through war and pain
Built a family strong and true
From his heart our love just grew
He taught us strength and how to have fun
Wisdom gathered like rays from the sun
Through his eyes we see the light
Opa’s courage shining bright
He taught us strength and how to have fun
Wisdom gathered like rays from the sun
Through his eyes we see the light
Opa’s courage shining bright
