| I used to sit on your shoulders
|
| Felt like I had a view with a whole globe right below us
|
| I was young but still old enough to know
|
| That my daddy wasn’t rich but you had a heart of gold
|
| These childhood memories are priceless
|
| Far from perfect, you know how life gets
|
| When did it all start to go downhill
|
| When I realize that this passion I had found is real
|
| You claim it was the worst decision I could ever make
|
| To not chase it was a risk I could never take
|
| Safe to say as I got closer to my dreams
|
| The bond between us was just tearing at the seams
|
| And so it seems the war is finally over
|
| I’m older, but still that little boy thats on your shoulders
|
| Loving me is all you’ve ever done
|
| All I hear now with the words of a father to a son
|
| Run a little faster
|
| Stand a little taller
|
| I’ll be there for you
|
| Like a rock in a middle of a raging river
|
| Fight a little harder
|
| Fly a little higher
|
| I’ll be there for you
|
| Like a rock in a middle of a raging river
|
| Sometimes you sit up my shoulders
|
| And its a perfect view, with a whole globe right below us
|
| So much to say yea words can’t truly describe
|
| How I felt inside the second that you arrived
|
| A little bit of fear a whole lot of joy
|
| It still hasn’t sunk in, man I got a boy!
|
| Can’t even lie, I’m concerned in every way
|
| I guess all I could do is learn everyday
|
| To me and mommy you’re our number 1
|
| I often wonder what type of man you will become
|
| You’ll do great things, and that I’m confident
|
| Always stay humble or miss the compliments
|
| As for the ladies, save for the wedding ring
|
| Always put god above everything
|
| As long as I’m alive my job is never done
|
| These are just the words of a father to a son
|
| Run a little faster
|
| Stand a little taller
|
| I’ll be there for you
|
| Like a rock in a middle of a raging river
|
| Fight a little harder
|
| Fly a little higher
|
| I’ll be there for you
|
| Like a rock in a middle of a raging river
|
| Maybe ya listening and ya contemplating
|
| Cos its been awhile since yall had a conversation
|
| A simple call, time to man up
|
| Before you hit that last digit, quick to hang up
|
| Feels like there’s no way it can be done
|
| Picking up the phone and it weights about a ton
|
| But, still not as heavy as your heart
|
| Tryna make amends not sure when you should start
|
| Even if you talk, what do you say, thats a scary thought
|
| Don’t let pride get in the way, what a shame
|
| Shared the last name yet you’re strangers
|
| No pain remains forever love can change it (changes)
|
| Need someone to lift you up when you fall down
|
| Separated, hesitate to tear the walls down
|
| Forgiveness can heal when its all said and done
|
| That goes for both a father and a son
|
| Run a little faster
|
| Stand a little taller
|
| I’ll be there for you
|
| Like a rock in a middle of a raging river
|
| Fight a little harder
|
| Fly a little higher
|
| I’ll be there for you
|
| Like a rock in a middle of a raging river
|
| So steady as we go
|
| Yes there’s always room to grow
|
| Our love will be a rock in the middle of a raging river |
