He came into this world with stars in his eyes A heart wide open, no need for disguise Every hug he gave could melt the hardest day And when he laughed, the clouds would drift away With blue monkey in hand, he'd face the wide world With wonder and joy like a banner unfurled He didn’t say much, but he said it all With a glance, with a grin, with a love so tall [Chorus] Colton’s light, it still shines Through the waves, through the palms In the music, in the breeze He loved deep, he loved true He gave more than most of us do Though he’s gone from our sight We still walk in Colton’s light [Verse 2] He’d press close and snuggle in tight Safe in our arms, wrapped in the night He lived for the simple, the soft and the sweet Like family meals and ocean-side seats The sound of a song, the thrill of a plane He saw magic in the mundane He gave joy without trying, grace without pride And lit up the soul of every life he’d find [Chorus] Colton’s light, it still shines In each memory that time can’t unwind From the popcorn bowl to a soft embrace We still feel him in every place He loved deep, he loved true He gave more than most of us do Though he’s gone from our sight We still walk in Colton’s light [Bridge] By the ocean where he’d sit and stare We still feel his spirit there In every wave, in every hue He’s part of everything we do
