Devan

I still remember that birthday afternoon

You were just a boy with a brand new friend

Put that little hamster on the table in the room

And ran down to the water for a swim

Hours went by beneath the summer sun

You came back inside to find that it was gone

I saw your little heart break right in two

That's the tender soul I've always loved in you

So Devan, keep your head up high

Remember where you're from as time goes by

Stay true to who you are, you can make it anywhere

You're a loving, brave, hard-working man out there

No matter all the miles between us now

I love you, and I'll meet you, this I vow

I will never give up on meeting you somehow

I know the road gets heavy on your shoulders

But you've always had a spirit built to fight

I see the amazing man you are as you get older

Working hard from the morning to the night

You've got a bravery that money just can't buy

A strength that brings a tear into my eye

So when the world gets tough and tries to break you

Just know my love will never once forsake you

So Devan, keep your head up high

Remember where you're from as time goes by

Stay true to who you are, you can make it anywhere

You're a loving, brave, hard-working man out there

No matter all the miles between us now

I love you, and I'll meet you, this I vow

I will never give up on meeting you somehow

There's a lot of empty space upon this map

And seasons that we've had to spend apart

But distance doesn't stand a single chance

Against the love I'm holding in my heart

I'm waiting for the day we close the space

When I can finally look you in the face

Devan, keep your head up high

Remember where you're from as time goes by

Stay true to who you are, you can make it anywhere

You're a loving, brave, hard-working man out there

No matter all the miles between us now

I love you, and I'll meet you, this I vow

I will never give up on meeting you somehow

Yeah, I will never give up on meeting you somehow
