“All Heart, My Son”
Verse 1
You were my first, my little man
Before I even knew the plan
Just tiny hands and stubborn eyes
Already reaching for the sky
You ran wild through every day
Hide and seek and soldier play
Climbing trees like you could fly
Higher than the mountains in my mind
Pre-Chorus
Every scraped knee, every scar
Showed me just how strong you are
⸻
Chorus
You’ve always been no nonsense, all heart
Strong from the very start
The kind who shows up, stands his ground
And never lets his people down
From that wild boy to the man I see
Taking care of your family
I don’t have to say it out loud
But you know I’m proud
⸻
Verse 2
You brought that snake home, I said “no way”
Then mice got loose — yeah, they got away
Somehow we laughed through all that mess
That house was yours, I’ll just confess
Got in trouble on that school bus ride
I made you walk those four miles home that time
You never did that again, that’s true
Just found new ways to keep me on my toes with you 😏
You roughed your sister up once or twice
But heaven help anyone else who tried
You’ve always had that line you don’t cross
Loyal to yours no matter the cost
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I’d walk in school, they knew my name
But I’d still do it all the same
⸻
Chorus
You’ve always been no nonsense, all heart
Strong from the very start
The kind who shows up, stands his ground
And never lets his people down
From that wild boy to the man I see
Taking care of your family
I don’t have to say it out loud
But you know I’m proud
⸻
Verse 3
We don’t always see eye to eye
You’ve got your ways and I’ve got mine
But not a day goes passing by
I don’t love you with all my life
We’ve had our words, we’ve had our days
Both too stubborn to walk away
But through it all, one thing stays true
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you
⸻
Bridge
You’ve had your moments, yeah that’s true
Some wild stories we’ve lived through
Like that time you danced with nothing on
High on meds, just going strong 😂
But even then beneath it all
You’ve always stood, you’ve never fallen
A fighter when it matters most
The one your family leans on most
⸻
Final Chorus
You’ve always been no nonsense, all heart
Never needed a fresh start
You figured life out your own way
And I’ve watched you every day
From that little boy to who you are
You didn’t just wish, you worked hard
And if I don’t say it enough somehow
You know I’m proud
