Verse 1
I still see you as that little kid,
Running wild like we always did,
One year younger, right on my heels,
Learning life, learning how it feels.
From scraped-up knees to growing pains,
Laughing loud in the summer rain,
You’ve always been a piece of me,
More than words could ever speak.
Chorus
Happy 22nd, baby brother of mine,
One year younger but right by my side,
Through every storm, through every weather,
We’ll always be Everharts together.
I’ve watched you grow, I’ve watched you fight,
Turn your wrongs into something right,
And no matter where this life takes you,
I’ll always be here for you.
Verse 2
Now you’re out there serving proud,
Standing strong in a different crowd,
In D.C. streets or far away,
I think about you every day.
I say a prayer when the night gets long,
Hoping you’re safe, hoping you’re strong,
‘Cause even heroes need someone too,
And I’ll always be here for you.
Chorus
Happy 22nd, baby brother of mine,
One year younger but right by my side,
Through every storm, through every weather,
We’ll always be Everharts together.
I’ve watched you grow, I’ve watched you fight,
Turn your wrongs into something right,
And no matter where this life takes you,
I’ll always be here for you.
Bridge
I hope and pray you come back home,
From those long nights you face alone,
Back to the place where you belong,
Right here where your heart is strong.
No distance could ever break,
The bond that only we could make.
Final Chorus
Happy 22nd, yeah this one’s for you,
For everything you’re going through,
From little boy to the man I see,
You’ll always mean the world to me.
One year younger but brave and true,
And I’ll always be proud of you,
Yeah no matter where you roam,
Baby brother, just come home.
Outro
So here’s to you on your 22nd day,
I’ll be praying you find your way… home ❤️
