[Verse]
Down by the river where we used to play
Memories drift like the boats in the bay
Nick's my anchor through the highs and the lows
In this wild river
He keeps me afloat
[Verse 2]
Laughing at stories that we both share
Life’s been a storm but he’s always there
From the old group home to the city's light
Nick's the north star in my darkest night
[Chorus]
He’s the voice on the phone when I feel lost
Building me up when I’ve counted the cost
We talk of dreams we both could chase
Nick’s the foundation I’ve learned to embrace
[Verse 3]
Time moves fast but his words stay still
A pact we’ve got
Unspoken yet real
“Keep pushing forward” is his favorite line
Through his belief
I see a world divine
[Verse 4]
With a friend like Nick
I’m never alone
He’s the compass guiding me home
Through every struggle
Every battle I fight
His faith in me brings the brightest light
[Bridge]
Oh the river taught us how to survive
And Nick taught me how to truly thrive
Side by side through the ebb and flow
We’re stronger than the tides below
