Lyrics

[Verse 1] A quiet boy in lonely days, a kind old woman showed the way. She fed him hope when times were lean, taught him to chase what can't be seen. With a suitcase and five hundred more, a heart full of dreams walked out the door. [Chorus] Oh, look how far you've flown, from empty hands to skies you've known. Through every storm and every dawn, you kept your gentle courage on. With gratitude we sing this song, this is where your heart belongs. [Verse 2] The early years were cold and hard, long hours worked without regard. But humble hands don't quit the climb, you built your future one small dime. Then your words became your golden key, and life took off across the sea. [Chorus] Oh, look how far you've flown, from empty hands to skies you've known. Through every storm and every dawn, you kept your gentle courage on. With gratitude we sing this song, this is where your heart belongs. [Bridge] Carlos, then love walked in one day, a warrior woman here to stay. Rocco and Pía, gifts so true, the family you dreamed came into view. [Verse 3] You've seen the clouds most never see, eternal skies, the sun set free. Now hand the plane over with pride, your head held high, your family beside. Carlos, you gave us all your best, and love became your true success. [Chorus] Oh, look how far you've flown, from empty hands to skies you've known. Through every storm and every dawn, you kept your gentle courage on. With gratitude we sing this song, this is where your heart belongs. [Outro] That boy who dared to dream out loud, Carlos, look how you've made us proud.
