At three years old you taught me how to dance
Flailing round and round no care to what the world was saying
You didn't even know we were all watching you
Thinking this is what it's like to be a kid
You were a few months older
But a lifetime ahead

Your life was like tossing pebbles into the water
Not knowing where they'd land
Never slowing down
Or running out of love to give
Those rocks fell to the ground
But here from where I stand
Those pebbles made ripples
Going further than you'll ever understand

Fifteen years old you taught me how to sing
Giving all you had to the one who gave you everything
You didn't even know we were all watching you
Thinking this is what it's like to be a man
You were a few months older
But a lifetime ahead

Your life was like tossing pebbles into the water
Not knowing where they'd land
Never slowing down
Or running out of love to give
Those rocks fell to the ground
But here from where I stand
Those pebbles made ripples
Going further than you'll ever understand

Now here we are at the end
And you're at peace again
Some may think it's over but it's only just begin
As I hear story after story from everyone you loved
You showed us love
From a lifetime ahead

Your life was like tossing pebbles into the water
Not knowing where they'd land
Never slowing down
Or running out of love to give
Those rocks fell to the ground
But here from where I stand
Those pebbles made ripples
Going further than you'll ever understand
