(Verse 1)

In a backyard of laughter, we used to play,

You taught me to ride, then you slipped away.

Mom would call us in, when the sun went down,

Now I chase those echoes, in this empty town.

(Chorus)

Growing up too fast, but I learned your way,

Carved my heart with memories, come what may.

In the dark, I found the light,

Holding on to love with all my might.

(Verse 2)

Every night I’d whisper to the sky so wide,

Searching for a sign, a piece of you inside.

You were my best friend, my partner in crime,

Now I wear your spirit, in every climb.

(Chorus)

Growing up too fast, but I learned your way,

Carved my heart with memories, come what may.

In the dark, I found the light,

Holding on to love with all my might.

(Bridge)

And then you came, with your soft, warm smile,

Helping me heal, making it all worthwhile.

I found my strength in your gentle embrace,

With you by my side, I'm ready to face.

(Verse 3)

Late-night talks about the dreams we share,

You showed me it’s okay to feel and to care.

You lift me higher, and I reach for the stars,

You help me remember who you really are.

(Chorus)

Growing up too fast, but I learned your way,

Carved my heart with memories, come what may.

In the dark, I found the light,

Holding on to love with all my might.

(Outro)

So here's to the brother who taught me to stand,

To the lessons in pain that made me a man.

I'm growing every day, with you in the skies,

In the love that I've found, I’ll forever rise.
