[Intro]
Yeah...
For my little brother
Ocean Country, keep his name alive
[Verse 1]
We were young with the dirt bikes kicking dust,
Tires carving circles, laughing loud with trust.
Playing in the sand till the daylight turned gold,
You were wild, you were stubborn, but your heart was gold.
You’d act a fool, get us both in a mess,
Still I stood beside you, never loved you less.
Shared a drink, shared a smoke, shared the weight we knew,
When the world got rough, I was looking out for you.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I talk to the water when the evening gets still,
Say your name to the tide from the top of the hill.
Though I can’t bring you back, I can carry the truth:
You were my little brother, and I’ll always be with you.
[Chorus]
Rest in peace, little brother, let the ocean hold your soul,
Ocean Country remembers you, your story won’t grow old.
From the sand to the shoreline, from the dust to the blue,
I’ll take care of your memory like I promised you I’d do.
Rest in peace, little brother, till the day we meet again,
Your laugh lives in the salt air, your name lives with the wind.
[Verse 2]
I still see you leaning hard when the bike would slide,
Dust on your shoulders, big grin you couldn’t hide.
We had scraped-up knees and a pocket full of plans,
Whole world in our hands, sand running through our hands.
You could push every button, make a quiet day loud,
But you never left me standing when the rain came down.
We learned to watch each other, learned to make it through,
That kind of love stays breathing when the body’s gone from view.
[Bridge]
If the waves know your footsteps, let them lead you home.
If the moon sees your face, tell it you’re not alone.
I’ll speak you into sunrise, I’ll carry what is true,
Every ride, every shoreline, every road leads back to you.
[Chorus]
Rest in peace, little brother, let the ocean hold your soul,
Ocean Country remembers you, your story won’t grow old.
From the sand to the shoreline, from the dust to the blue,
I’ll take care of your memory like I promised you I’d do.
Rest in peace, little brother, till the day we meet again,
Your laugh lives in the salt air, your name lives with the wind.
[Outro]
Ride easy, little brother.
No more trouble, no more pain.
Ocean Country keeps your memory.
Until we meet again.
