I never saw you slipping over the horizon
Yet I knew you’d set your sail to the sea
You wore this world like a chain around your ankle
Though I cry for you, I do believe you’re free

We ran together, Indians and pirates
Smoked cherry blend in our Dr.Graybow pipes
And in our uniforms we marched and were handsome
Just got tighter, every time we had a fight

Bridge.: Years take their toll
Dreams come and go
Of all the things we’re after
Love is all that matters

Last time I saw you we talked about Jesus
We laughed and toasted to the good times and the bad
Now you’ve sailed off somewhere over the horizon
You were a brother I never had
Now you’re off somewhere beyond the horizon
And the Lord has taken hold of your hand
