Youngest of the bunch, but still a strong link in the chain.
Grew a brother like relationship with you that's why this
brings me so much pain.

When we were kids we had our fun, and yes our problems too,
never raised our hands to each other because going to your
mom was the right thing to do.

As I look back you were trying to hold your own,
because you were "Big Nick" and you had to prove
to us you were grown.

You were on your way to becoming a man,
then your first obstacle in life,
but you overlooked that and kept on going
and accomplished all you could.

You said to yourself, "if I get through this
I'll leave this state, knock on wood."

Then some person wants to play GOD
and take your life that night.
When I play that phone call back in my head
I hoped what I was hearing wasn't right.

But now I know safe with him is where you're gonna be,
one more ANGEL from the heavens looking over me.

So with memories in my heart, and a vision of you
always in my head.
You "Nicholas David Diaz were a Soldier to
The End."
