Rocking Chair Hallelujah

[Verse 1]
Sun’s not up, but you are
Bare feet on the hallway floor
Whispering to that baby boy
Like you’ve done a thousand times before
Bottle on the nightstand
Your hair pulled back, eyes half closed
You smile when he grabs your finger
Even though you’re running on fumes and hope
[Chorus]
Rocking chair hallelujah
You’re the angel in this house
Holding him when I can’t keep my eyes open
You still somehow figure it out
Thank you for every midnight
Every soft song in the dark
You’re stitching all this love together
While he’s sleeping on your heart
[Verse 2]
I hear you humming in the doorway
Blue light from the baby monitor glow
You laugh when he spits out his milk
Say, “Buddy, that’s just how it goes”
Your shirt’s got stains on the shoulder
And you’ve worn the same thing all week
But I swear I’ve never seen you
Look more beautiful and brave to me
[Chorus]
Rocking chair hallelujah
You’re the angel in this house
Holding him when I can’t keep my eyes open
You still somehow figure it out
Thank you for every midnight
Every soft song in the dark
You’re stitching all this love together
While he’s sleeping on your heart
[Bridge]
One day he’ll stand on his own two feet
Won’t need those midnight arms
But he’ll carry every tired “I love you”
Every whisper, every yawn
And when he thanks us for his childhood
I’ll know the truth deep down
It was you in that old rocker
Keeping all our world safe and sound
[Chorus]
Rocking chair hallelujah
You’re the angel in this house
Holding him when I can’t keep my eyes open
You still somehow figure it out
Thank you for every midnight
Every soft song in the dark
You’re stitching all this love together
While he’s sleeping on your heart

country, Gentle modern country ballad with male vocals, warm acoustic guitar and soft brushed drums; intimate verses tucked in close, chorus lifting with pedal steel swells and simple piano; subtle stacked harmonies on the hook, tender energy arc that sways like a lullaby while keeping the lead vocal front and honest
