Across the sea…

[Verse 1 — personal / melodic]
Funny how life can connect two souls,
Different roads, but the same blood flows.
We never got the chance to physically meet,
But God built a bridge from across the sea.
Now I know your heart, and I know your mind,
And I’m grateful God connected us in His time.
For your beautiful spirit, the love that you show,
That Christlike heart everywhere you go.
I thank God for the woman you’ve become,
For every battle fought and every race you’ve run.
Some chapters hard, some nights get long,
But look at you now—still standing strong.
So today ain’t a day for worry or stress,
Today we count life, love and blessedness.
Another trip around the sun—still here,
Mommy, this one is your year!
⸻
[Pre-Chorus — build]
No distance can break what God connects,
No ocean can make us family less.
Liberia to America, across the sea,
Different shores—one family.
So turn up the drum, make the rhythm come alive!
Birthday girl outside—elevate the vibe!

[Verse 2 — emotional]
Family can’t be disconnected
Just because we’re overseas.
Blood goes deeper than the distance,
Deeper than the miles between.
And I can’t wait for the day
I finally see your smiling face,
Wrap my arms around my sister
In one long, overdue embrace.
No screen between us,
No phone in our hands,
Just brother and sister
Finally getting the chance
To laugh about the years
And everything we missed,
And thank God face-to-face
For giving us this.
Because som
