[Verse]
Out in the yard, he's chasing fireflies,
Wide-eyed boy beneath the southern skies.
Scraped-up knees and a heart of gold,
Every day's a story waiting to unfold.
[Verse 2]
Work boots heavy, hands worn and rough,
But I’ll keep pushing, though times get tough.
Every swing of the hammer, every stone I lay,
It's all for him, to light his way.
[Chorus]
Even when it’s lost, the hope will show,
In the laughter of a boy I know.
Watching my son grow, he’s my only creed,
I’ll provide, I’ll stay, I’ll meet his need.
[Verse 3]
He shows me life in the smallest things,
Like the joy a summer raindrop brings.
With every 'why' he gives, I can't help but grin,
It’s a wild ride with the shape he’s in.
[Bridge]
The road ain’t smooth, but I grit my teeth,
There’s love in intention, belief underneath.
Someday he’ll see the lengths I’d go,
For his dreams to live, for his heart to glow.
[Chorus]
Even when it’s lost, the hope will show,
In the laughter of a boy I know.
Watching my son grow, he’s my only creed,
I’ll provide, I’ll stay, I’ll meet his need.
