# Ty Ty, My Hero

Not a worry in the world, just good times everywhere.
And if I could turn back time, there's one place I'd love to go,
Back to those days in Driftwood Keys, watching those four boys grow.

Zach would come for a weekend, then a month would roll around,
Jake and Zach were up to something when the lights were going down.
Six blocks in the middle of the night, sneaking out for something to eat,
While their parents slept, those boys were laughing, running down the street.

Those midnight runs and crazy jokes, the secrets that they'd keep,
The kind of memories you hold onto, the kind that run so deep.
Four boys became four young men, but one thing stayed the same,
That brotherhood they built back then, no years could ever change.

Oh, Ty Ty, my hero, you're stronger than steel,
You've walked through the fire, know how broken hearts can feel.
When the world turned dark, you still found the light,
With the heart of a warrior, you kept up the fight.

God wasn't finished, He had more for you to do,
And every day we're thankful that He brought us back to you.
You're a fighter, a survivor, and I hope you always know,
Oh, Ty Ty, my hero, how proud I am of you.

Then came that day, the kind you pray you'll never see,
When I heard that you were shot, the world stopped underneath my feet.
At Harborview I fell down, couldn't find the words to say,
Just tears and trembling hands as I bowed my head to pray.

I begged the Lord to hold you, to carry you through the night,
To give you strength to make it through, to bring you back into the light.
And somewhere in that darkness, through the fear and through the pain,
God gave us hope to hold onto, and we saw you rise again.

Oh, Ty Ty, my hero, you're stronger than steel,
You've walked through the fire, know how broken hearts can feel.
When the world turned dark, you still found the light,
With the heart of a warrior, you kept up the fight.

God wasn't finished, He had more for you to do,
And every day we're thankful that He brought us back to you.
You're a fighter, a survivor, and I hope you always know,
Oh, Ty Ty, my hero, how proud I am of you.

At twenty-one, you've shown the world what courage really means,
Putting others before yourself, standing tall through everything.
You still laugh at Aunt Angie's jokes, even when they're bad,
And that smile lights up the room, the same one you've always had.

I'd give anything for one more night, to see those four boys run,
But watching who you've all become is a blessing all its own.
And Ty, if life gets heavy, there's one thing I hope you see,
You've got a family standing with you, and that's where we'll always be.

Oh, Ty Ty, my hero, you're stronger than steel,
You've walked through the fire, and you've shown us how to heal.
When the world turned dark, you still found the light,
With the heart of a warrior, you kept up the fight.

God wasn't finished, He had more for you to do,
And there's a whole lot of people who are grateful here for you.
You're a fighter, a survivor, with a heart that's pure and true,
Oh, Ty Ty, my hero, we're so proud of you.
