This is to my brother, Gerasim.
[Verse 1]
Pokémon battles, Magic nights,
D&D quests and Halo fights,
Boardgames and Bible talks at the Airbnb,
Laughin' loud, sippin’ coffee and tea.
Took the ferry, road-tripped free,
Made our mark from the States to B.C.,
Chasin’ sunsets, countin’ stars,
Sippin’ gin, puffin' pipes, talkin’ fast cars.
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve known joy, and we’ve cried some too,
No mountain too high, no fire too blue.
You’ve had my back, through and through—
Brother for life, yeah, that’s me and you.
[Chorus]
So here’s to you—my brother, my friend,
You found your heart where the islands don’t end.
She sees your soul—faithful and strong,
You’re steppin’ forward where you belong.
We’ll miss you, man, but you're not gone,
You're not leavin’ us—you’re just movin’ on.
Go live your life, love her right—
You’ve got our blessing to shine your light.
[Verse 2]
Remember the nights we talked real deep,
’Bout fathers and fears and valleys steep.
When life hit hard, we always knew—
We’d show up strong and talk it through.
We prayed through storms, through highs and lows,
Shared that bond only a brother knows.
You're headin’ out, but don’t forget—
You’ve still got your safety net.
[Bridge / Tag]
So take her hand and lead with grace,
There’s no one else who could take your place.
We love you, man—go start that life—
You’ve got our blessing. Go love your wife.
