[Verse 1]
He don’t say much when the room gets loud
But he lights up when his favorite song plays out
Got a line of Hot Wheels, runnin’ down the hall
And a heart so big, he could love us all
He sees the world in a different way
Where colors shine and the small things stay
Every little moment’s a miracle I’ve had
And I thank God every day I’m proud to be his dad
[Chorus]
He’s my hero in a t-shirt and jeans
Singin’ to the radio, lost in his dreams
With a controller in hand and a spark in his eyes
He builds his own world, one level at a time
He don’t need to change, he’s perfect to me
Stronger than I ever thought a boy could be
Some folks may not understand what we have
But I do—and I’m proud to be his dad
[Verse 2]
Mornings are slow, but the smiles are fast
He’ll teach you patience, and how to make it last
He hums a tune that I’ve never heard
But it’s the sweetest song without a word
When he laughs, the whole house glows
There’s magic in him only Heaven knows
He ain’t like the rest—and I’m glad
‘Cause he made me better, just bein’ his dad
[Chorus]
He’s my hero in a t-shirt and jeans
Strummin’ air guitar to his favorite scene
Got a heart full of rhythm, soul full of grace
He’s the light of my life, my favorite place
He don’t need to fit no mold or plan
He’s already more than I’ll ever be, man
He’s the reason I believe, through the good and the bad
Yeah, I’m lucky—and I’m proud to be his dad
[Bridge]
Sometimes the world don’t see his shine
But they’re missin’ out, ‘cause that boy’s divine
If love had a name, it’d sound just like his laugh
That’s the truth—and I’m proud to be his dad
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, he’s my hero, my reason, my joy
More than a label—he’s my little boy
With his Hot Wheels lined up and his dreams runnin’ free
He’s everything this world should be
And if I could go back, I wouldn’t change a thing I’ve had
Not one second—
‘Cause I’m proud to be his dad 🎶
