Where Boys Became Good Men

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We blinked and years had flown The halls went quiet, the backyard still Where laughter shook these walls of home And every room was full until The silence settled soft and slow [Chorus] Love is the bond that never breaks It carries on through all we've made Through every door you walk on through Our pride will shine and follow you Love is our eternal flame And nothing dims it, nothing fades [Verse 2] We stored each memory in our hearts The games, the girls, the muddy shoes Jim and Greg beneath the stars Jeff and Brent with scraped-up knees You blessed us more than you could know In your own individual ways [Chorus] Love is the bond that never breaks It carries on through all we've made Through every door you walk on through Our pride will shine and follow you Love is our eternal flame And nothing dims it, nothing fades [Bridge] Have as much faith in who you are As we have always held for you Our cherished boys, now protectors Standing tall and standing true [Verse 3] When we see the fathers you've become We smile through every grateful tear Jim, Greg, Jeff, and Brent — our sons Your children bless our heritage With every bit of love and guide you give We won't always be here but hear us still [Chorus] Love is the bond that never breaks It carries on through all we've made Through every door you walk on through Our pride illuminates your mornings And shines among your stars Love is our eternal flame And nothing dims it, nothing fades [Outro] Where boys once played now good men stand Forever held in loving hands
