Lyrics

Intro
Yeah... this one is for the travelers.
The ones who follow the sun across the sea.
You’re still with us. Always.

Verse 1
From the Outer Banks where the wild horses run
You set your compass toward a different sun
Left the familiar sands of that island shore
To find a rhythm you’d never felt before
Seven years ago you took flight, you see
Crossing the blue to where you were meant to be
From the Atlantic breeze to the Gulf of Siam
You showed us all exactly who a man can be.

Pre-Chorus
The world is a map of the steps you took
A beautiful story, a finished book
But the ink is still wet on the pages we turn
There’s so much more for us to learn.

Chorus
So I’m sending a vibration across the deep
For the promises kept and the secrets you keep
You moved with the tide, you lived with the light
Now you’re the brightest star in the Thai night
Blessing up, brother, wherever you land
You left your heart in the Ocracoke sand
But your soul is a bird that finally flew
This melody rises... just for you.

Verse 2
They say the distance makes the heart grow fond
But you built a bridge to the great beyond
A life lived brave, a life lived wide
With nothing to fear and nothing to hide
Now the news comes drifting like salt on the wind
And it’s hard to imagine where to begin
But I’ll celebrate the courage, I’ll celebrate the grace
I still see the smile on your traveler’s face.

Bridge
One ocean to another...
One island to the next...
The distance is nothing...
When the spirit is blessed.

Outro
Smooth sailing, my friend.
From the banks to the mountains.
You’re home now.
In every sunrise... I’ll see you.
