I wrote this for Joe Paterno's family and the Penn State students and alumni. Hoping this music will help you work through the loss. Joe Paterno: you will be missed greatly. Lyrics below:

Some say he was more the legend
Some say he was more the man
But the way it feels inside this valley
It's clear we've got a hero on our hands

Goodbye JoePA
Everyone's chanting your name
They're waving white and blue
It'll never be the same

Goodbye JoePa
We had a good run it's true
And when we're waving white and blue
We'll be thinking about you

He's not a long list of records
He's not a statue or the buildings that he gave
He's a whole lot more than an idea
And you can feel it in all the lives that he changed

People lined up on the sidewalks
And they're crowded out into the streets
Everyone wants to bid farewell
And say "hey coach,
You'll live on in our memories"

  • Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I'm happy to share something that helped me with my feelings. I appreciate everyone coming to my rescue in response to the negativity but that's not the dialogue I was hoping for in response to the video. When I heard JoePa's Thon speech on B94.5, I realized how deeply influential this man has been to so many. Seeing the streets flooded today and the people on the news wishing for memorial tickets, I hoped to help with the grieving process. We Are!

  • Nicely done. I think one thing that could be done to help honor the man even more is to put this song on itunes and have all he proceeds of those who buy it go to THON.
