Little Gold Shoes

You came in like a song

With milk on your chin

Tiny fists, big eyes

And a grin that pulled me in

Your name on my tongue

Feels like home every time

I was just getting by

Then you showed me the light

And I swear I changed

When you called for me

All my plans got small

Next to what you need

My son, my son

You’re my whole sky

My son, my son

I’ll be there tonight

When the world gets loud

I’ll be your ground

My son, my son

I’m holding you now

Little shoes by the door

And a sticky-sweet kiss

You laugh with your whole face

Like the day can’t miss

I’ll teach you to be kind

I’ll teach you to stand

But if you ever fall

I’ll be your hands

And I swear I changed

When you called for me

All my fears got small

Next to what you need

My son, my son

You’re my whole sky

My son, my son

I’ll be there tonight

When the world gets loud

I’ll be your ground

My son, my son

I’m holding you now

If your heart gets bruised

If your road runs rough

Look for my arms

They will be enough

You can run, you can dream

You can be so brave

And wherever you go

You still got my name

My son, my son

You’re my whole sky

My son, my son

I’ll be there tonight

When the world gets loud

I’ll be your ground

My son, my son

I’m holding you now

My son, my son

You’re my whole sky
