Brandon

I remember holding you when you were just a boy

You've always been my compass, my greatest pride and joy

But when we lost Chris on that tragic, heavy day

The heartbreak pulled me under, and I lost my way

I couldn't see it then, but now I know it's true

You lost your brother, and you lost your mother too

But you're a survivor, you get right back up again

You took a broken heart and became a steady man

Those babies come first, you give them all they need

I'm so proud of the father you grew up to be

I'm sorry I wasn't there, I want to be your rock

I love you to the moon and back, my who da pop

I see you out there casting lines down by the river

Deep sea fishing, hunting, such a strong provider

Through all the heavy loads and the camping trips you take

You built a beautiful life from the pieces of the ache

You work so hard for them, they want for nothing now

You took the hardest lessons and you made it work somehow

'Cause you're a survivor, you get right back up again

You took a broken heart and became a steady man

Those babies come first, you give them all they need

I'm so proud of the father you grew up to be

I'm sorry I wasn't there, I want to be your rock

I love you to the moon and back, my who da pop

I want to come home, I want to make things right

To hold my precious grandbabies in the morning light

I know I failed you, Brandon, I carry that regret

But I'm asking for forgiveness, if you can find it yet

Let me be the mother that you always deserved

I'll prove my love to you in every single word

'Cause you're a survivor, you get right back up again

You took a broken heart and became a steady man

Those babies come first, you give them all they need

I'm so proud of the father you grew up to be

I'm praying for the day the distance finally stops

I love you to the moon and back, my who da pop
