Friday night, red wall, Bowman Gray in the lights The race he wanted there finally had its night May turned into August, three months on the date Same idea, different weight when it rolled through the gate Paper in her hand, then she gave the command Green suit zipped up, her son rolled with the pack He won the heat, sixth when the feature was through By the end, an idea left tire marks on the track What we started still has work to do We can keep it moving and still miss you Nobody takes your place That's not what this is Keep the good in motion Don't pretend the loss is fixed What we started still has work to do (Work to do) This didn't start in August, didn't start with his name Father and son had already taken green in the same race No memorial language, no one filling anybody's place Just two cars on the dirt long before this date Years before that night, another thing took shape Their own road through eye-vee-eff helped build a fund for care So the money from the race had somewhere real to land One thing they built together kept working in other hands What we started still has work to do We can keep it moving and still miss you Nobody takes your place That's not what this is Keep the good in motion Don't pretend the loss is fixed What we started still has work to do (Work to do) Not moving on Not filling in Not turning every quiet moment into a sign Finish the plan Let the real stay real Let the next thing be the next thing Without telling it to heal Most of us know some version of a thing that changed hands A shop key, garden row, a half-completed plan No finish makes the missing smaller, no date reverses time Sometimes you show up, do the work, leave the rest undefined Let a fund help with treatment, let a race be just a race Let a son remain a son, nobody has to take a place You don't have to call it closure just because you made it through Sometimes what you started simply still has work to do What we started still has work to do We can keep it moving and still miss you Nobody takes your place That's not what this is Keep the good in motion Don't pretend the loss is fixed What we started still has work to do (Work to do) (Still has work to do) (What we started) (Work to do)
