THE HERO SLEEPS

Richard "Dick Tiger" Ihetu
1929 - 1971

A great man falls asleep
A great light is out
A hero takes a bow
Who takes your place now


The sunrise of our time
The praise in our song
A generous heart filled with gold
Today you lay still and cold

We will never forget our first meetings
You enveloped us in your kindness
A smile as warm as dawn's gentle sunrise
The gift of love shone right through your eyes

God must be proud of you
A personality so rare
A million men can't replace you
With heaviness we bow hearts and heads to say Adieu
