When I look at you

I hold you close, your head on my chest

Your breathing slows, the world gets quiet

All the noise fades, all the stress

In this moment, nothing can break it

I’ve made mistakes you’ll never see

Fought battles you don’t yet know

But every fear lets go of me

When your little hand won’t let go

I don’t have all the answers, son

I won’t pretend I’m always strong

But if the world ever gets too loud

You’ll always know where you belong

When I look at you, I see tomorrow

Every reason I still try

You don’t know it yet, but you saved me

Just by looking in my eyes

If I fall, I’ll get back up

Because you’re watching me

I’ll be the man I promise you

Even when it’s hard to be

I’ll teach you love, I’ll teach you truth

I’ll teach you how to stand

And when I don’t know what to do

I’ll still hold your hand

One day you’ll walk ahead of me

Stronger than I’ve ever been

But no matter how far you go

My heart will always run with him

So sleep now, safe and warm

The world can wait outside

As long as you’re here in my arms

I know I’m doing something right
