Island Grace, Endless Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a light that shines on the water Where the tide rolls in with the morning sun Salt air blowing through the screen door And a little girl learning how to run On an island tucked off the coast of Maine Where the roots grew deep and the love grew strong [Chorus] Happy birthday to the one who makes us proud With a faith that moves the mountains and the clouds You're the grace in every season You're the love beyond all reason Chelsey, you're the best of us out loud [Verse 2] You walked across that stage with fire Diploma in your hand and dreams to chase Every door you opened took you higher But you never lost that island grace Then you held your baby boys so tight And became the kind of mama prayers are made of [Chorus] Happy birthday to the one who makes us proud With a faith that moves the mountains and the clouds You're the grace in every season You're the love beyond all reason Chelsey, you're the best of us out loud [Bridge] And love is just a word too small For everything you are Our beautiful, ambitious girl You've been our brightest star [Verse 3] Each new beginning finds you standing taller With those grandsons learning strength from you Your intelligence, your heart, your faith won't falter There's nothing in this world you cannot do From Vinalhaven shores to where you're going Chelsey, look how far you've come, look how you've grown [Chorus] Happy birthday to the one who makes us proud With a faith that moves the mountains and the clouds You're the grace in every season You're the love beyond all reason Chelsey, you're the best of us out loud [Outro] So blow the candles out and make a wish tonight Our daughter, our forever pride and light
