…and right from the beginning a dream in his eyes
To show this whole world what love and kindness is like
Youngkris, a loving brother, a loving son,
Truly a guy like no one.
So genuine,
with a heart so vast,
He loves his sisters, his mother, blood or not.
He protects and cares, he is always there.
True man is not found in anyone
True love is hardly for everyone
True fire, true passion must be the fashion
To be the one that always shows compassion
A brother like no other,
a bond that would ever last.
In life’s complex dance, he took the lead,
Extending a hand to anyone in need.
Oh, Youngkris is my light,
shining in the dark,
A true man, leaving a mark.
Remember his smile, remember his heart
Oh, Youngkris is my light,
shining in the dark,
A true man, leaving a mark.
Remember his smile, remember his heart
That house on the hill momma?
I’m gonna buy it, I’m gonna furnish it up
I’m gonna flourish it up, it’s gonna be
The loving place that you deserve.
These are the dreams of a loving son,
To gift his momma a loving home
To show his gratitude for all that she did
Good character is his biggest trait indeed
With three young heart, he’d always strive,
To keep their dreams and hopes alive.
A father’s love, so unconditional
His hard work, a timeless thrive.
A man of many talents, he could do it all,
With grace and strength, he’d stand tall
In their memories, his legacy lives on
A father’s love, like the breaking dawn.
Oh, Youngkris is my light,
shining in the dark,
A true man, leaving a mark.
Remember his smile, remember his heart
Oh, Youngkris is my light,
shining in the dark,
A true man, leaving a mark.
Remember his smile, remember his heart
Oh, Youngkris is my light,
shining in the dark,
A true man, leaving a mark.
Remember his smile, remember his heart
Oh, Youngkris is my light,
shining in the dark,
A true man, leaving a mark.
We will always remember his smile
