(Verse)
I said dad, you might want to take a seat,
Something life changing has happened to me.
My girlfriends pregnant and I don’t know what to do,
Please will you help me, you’ve been in my shoes.
He said son, just take a deep breath,
I know your head is spinning and you’re probably scared to death.
A child is a blessing and never a mistake,
You’re going to get through this, no matter what it takes.
(Pre-Chorus)
He said, “Love’s gonna grow where fear used to be,
You’ll find a strength you never knew you’d see.
When that little hand wraps around your thumb,
You’ll understand what I’ve become.”
(Chorus)
You’re gonna be somebody’s hero,
Their whole wide world in your arms.
You’re gonna learn what forever means,
When they’re sleeping safe from harm.
It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it,
Every long night, every scar.
Son, you’re about to find out who you are.
(Verse)
He said, “I was younger than you when you came along,
Had more doubts than faith, didn’t think I was strong.
But the first time I held you, son, everything changed,
All my wild running roads got rearranged.
It ain’t about being ready, it’s about standing tall,
Answering the cry when you hear that call.
You don’t walk away when the weight feels heavy,
You plant your feet firm and you hold steady.”
(Chorus)
You’re gonna be somebody’s hero,
Their whole wide world in your arms.
You’re gonna learn what forever means,
When they’re sleeping safe from harm.
It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it,
Every long night, every scar.
Son, you’re about to find out who you are.

(Bridge)
Years from now you’ll sit right here,
Hear the same words, feel the same fear.
And you’ll smile when your own son says,
“Dad, I don’t know what’s ahead.”
You’ll say, “Take a breath, you’ll be fine,
That little heartbeat’ll change your life.”
I wiped my eyes and I shook his hand,
Tried to be half the man he was standin’.
Called her up, said “We’ll be alright,
We’re in this together, come what might.”
Scared as hell but I felt that spark,
Like a brand new fire in the dark.
(Chorus)
You’re gonna be somebody’s hero,
Their whole wide world in your arms.
You’re gonna learn what forever means
When they’re sleeping safe from harm.
It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it,
Every long night, every scar.
Son, you’re about to find out who you are.
You’re gonna be somebody’s hero,
Their safe place in the storm.
You’re gonna feel your whole world shift
The day that child is born.
It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it,
Every tear and every scar.
Son… you’re about to find out who you are.
