[Verse]
The ocean calls, but my heart stays docked,
Gavin's name in the wind, my soul feels rocked.
Two sons at my feet, Logan, Colton, my pride,
But the ghost of a cradle leaves a hole inside.
Navy blues, ship's horn cuts the night,
Tears fall heavy, stars lose their light.
Japan on the horizon, but my mind's on home,
A sailor's duty, yet I feel alone.
[Chorus]
Gavin, I see you in the waves that crash,
Logan, Colton, you’re my anchor, my mast.
Miles may stretch, but my love’s no divide,
Hold tight, boys, Daddy’s with you inside.
[Verse 2]
Boots hit the deck, but my heart’s on the shore,
Rocking chairs empty, memories I adore.
Logan’s laugh echoes, Colton’s curious eyes,
I carry their love beneath foreign skies.
Gavin’s name whispered, a lullaby unsung,
A life too short, just begun, then undone.
Japan's neon glow can't replace the sun,
That shines in my boys, every single one.
[Bridge]
Stars on my shoulder, stripes on my chest,
But fatherhood’s weight is the heaviest test.
Tides pull me east, but my soul pulls west,
Gavin, Logan, Colton—my eternal crest.
