Colton lived in Texas

Colton was a regular kid

We don’t know what happened

We just know something did

His mom and dad were grieving

But somehow they believed

They’d give his heart to doctors

So someone else could live

A perfect heart is beating

Another soul is living

Ignited by a spark

From Colton’s perfect heart

The young man’s name was Travis

He showed up one day

He held Colton’s heart

Safely tucked away

He said his days were numbered

Seven years ago

Five hearts tried and failed him

But this one won’t let go

Down in Willis Texas

Though sorrow still lives there

Bittersweet their memories

His mom and dad still share

Travis brings them music

From out beyond the stars

A rhythm strong and steady

Of Colton’s perfect heart
