The Sunset Committee

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some men walk softly through this life But some light up a room With a laugh that shakes the walls And a faith that makes things bloom A prayer that never stopped A heart that held no fear A love so loud the heavens leaned A little closer just to hear [Chorus] Fly now, fly where the sunsets blaze Paint the sky in a thousand ways The committee's been waiting, saved you a chair Fly now, fly, you were born for there [Verse 2] Patrick, you came in red-haired and bold Waco, Texas, January cold Fifth of eleven, loud and true A family forged in the love they knew You smuggled Bibles across the line Ran covert missions for the Divine And when the world got bumpy and rough Your prayers alone were more than enough [Chorus] Fly now, fly where the sunsets blaze Paint the sky in a thousand ways The committee's been waiting, saved you a chair Fly now, fly, you were born for there [Bridge] Abigail is spinning in your arms tonight Patrick Dean, you're finally taking flight The ones you left are dressed in colors bright Carrying your kindness like a light [Verse 3] Sno-cones melting, kids at the wheel Ants go marching, laughter so real HEB gift cards tucked in your hand Ready for a stranger who needed a man Emily, Tricia, Jack, and the grands They feel you praying with open hands You went ahead to learn the way The first to cross, the first to say [Chorus] Fly now, fly where the sunsets blaze Paint the sky in a thousand ways The committee's been waiting, saved you a chair Fly now, fly, you were born for there [Outro] Save us a spot where the colors run free Patrick, we love you endlessly
