Syris

Grabbing some food on a quiet afternoon

Or watching a movie right there in the room

Syris, I cherish the time that we spend

You’re my wonderful son, and a listening friend

You’ve got a gift for making us laugh

You leave a bright trail of joy on your path

With a heart that is big and a love that is deep

These are the memories I'm going to keep

But when the world gets heavy and the road gets rough

And you start to wonder if you're strong enough

Remember prayer changes what we can't control

It brings a quiet peace to a weary soul

He won't give you more than your shoulders can bear

God can move mountains, just trust in a prayer

You’re always so patient, you give people time

You listen so well and you let others shine

It's really no wonder that everyone sees

The incredible man that you grew up to be

Whether sharing a meal or just shooting the breeze

You put everybody around you at ease

You love people hard, and you show that you care

I'm grateful for all of the moments we share

But when the world gets heavy and the road gets rough

And you start to wonder if you're strong enough

Remember prayer changes what we can't control

It brings a quiet peace to a weary soul

He won't give you more than your shoulders can bear

God can move mountains, just trust in a prayer

There are storms in this life that we just can't explain

And things out of reach in the wind and the rain

But fold up your hands when the shadows get tall

The Maker of mountains is holding it all

So when the world gets heavy and the road gets rough

And you start to wonder if you're strong enough

Remember prayer changes what we can't control

It brings a quiet peace to a weary soul

He won't give you more than your shoulders can bear

God can move mountains, Syris, just trust in a prayer
