Story Behind The Song

Tribute to Jordan Peters

Lyrics

Verse 1
Six foot four with the sweetest soul
Big hearted boy with an untamed goal
Lost you one August morn under the moon's faint glow
The silence said everything
I didn't wanna know

Chorus
Twenty-seven years young how can this be?
The world couldn't hold your pain but it holds your memory
I whisper your name
and it cuts like a song
My boy you were here
now you're already gone
Twenty-seven years young

Verse 2
Your laughter echoed like a mountain high
Lit up the skies even on
pitch black nights
I never thought I'd see
your light fade away
But now I face the dawn
of an empty day

Chorus
Twenty-seven years young how can this be?
The world couldn't hold your pain but it holds your memory
I reach for the stars where you might belong
My boy you were here
now you're already gone
Twenty-seven years young

Bridge
I keep your old guitar
looking new
Play a chord or two
it sounds like you
In those strings your soul always lives on
Six foot four standing tall
in a song

Chorus
Twenty-seven years young how can this be?
The world couldn't hold your pain but it holds your memory
I reach for the stars
where you might belong
My boy you were here
now you're already gone
Twenty-seven years young
