Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He wore his scars like badges, earned 'em all in flames and war,
A veteran’s heart, a firefighter’s soul, always ready for more.
The road called his name, the engine roared beneath the sky,
But that winding highway took him, left me asking why.

[Prechorus]
I see his shadow in the evening light,
Hear his laughter in the breeze at night.

[Chorus]
Ride to glory, my brother, my kin,
The Lord's got a place where the roads don't end.
Though it hurts, and my tears still fall,
Through the grace of God, I’ll see you after all.

[Verse 2]
We grew up in the holler, skipping rocks in the creek,
Dreamed of bigger mountains, always chasing something steep.
He gave his life to service, to the fire and the fight,
But no battle could prepare me for that call that came one night.

[Prechorus]
The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away,
But I know I'll hold his hand someday.

[Chorus]
Ride to glory, my brother, my kin,
The Lord's got a place where the roads don't end.
Though it hurts, and my tears still fall,
Through the grace of God, I’ll see you after all.
