A Tribute To Charlie Kirk --- 1993 to 2025

You stood in crowded gyms and quiet halls,
Talking to the restless and the small.
You said the dream is built by steady hands,
By faith that moves, by hearts that make a stand.

When storms grew loud, you never bowed,
You answered fear with love out loud.

We'll carry the light home, where the young can see,
The faith you lived, the truth that set us free.
You gave your life to guard the hope you'd sown
For Christ, for country now your flame is our own.
We'll carry the light home.

You walked the campus greens from coast to coast,
Taught that grace and grit could hold us close.
Said, "Build the life you dream by serving first,
Freedom's won by giving, not by thirst."

You showed us how to fix what's torn,
To love this land we're living for.

We'll carry the light home, where the young can see,
The faith you lived, the truth that set us free.
You gave your life to guard the hope you'd sown
For Christ, for country now your flame is our own.
We'll carry the light home.

No bullet ends a seed that's in the ground;
It blooms in every heart that hears the sound.
Of courage sung in classrooms and in streets
A quiet strength that lifts us to our feet.

We'll teach the ones who rise to take their turn,
To honor those who served and how they learned.
The star-spun promise, bright on every page,
A dream kept living, age to age.

We'll carry the light home, where the young can see,
The faith you lived, the truth that set us free.
You gave your life to guard the hope you'd sown
For Christ, for country now your flame is our own.
We'll carry the light home.

In every dawn and every whispered prayer,
Your torch still burns; we'll take it everywhere.
