(Verse 1)
I see the world through your eyes,
All the hope that lights the skies,
You’re growing up, but not too fast,
I’m trying to make these moments last.
I’ve made mistakes, I’ve had my fall,
But I’m standing here, to teach you it all,
How to be strong, how to be kind,
And how to leave the past behind.
I struggled so you wouldn't have too,
Even though i know the way the world works, you will too.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ll show you what it means to fight,
To never quit, to find your light,
I hope you’ll take the good from me,
And the rest, just set the rest free.
(Chorus)
I wanna make you better than I’ve ever been,
Learn more from your losses than your wins
I’ll teach you how to rise, how to stand tall,
So when the world comes calling, you won’t fall.
I want you to be everything I couldn’t be,
I want you to be, a better man than me.
(Verse 2)
I’ll teach you love, I’ll teach you there's a time and a place,
How to smile through a tear-streaked face,
You don’t have to fight every fight,
But when it matters, fight for your life.
I’ve seen the dark, I’ve felt the rain,
But I learned the lessons from the pain,
So let me guide you through this life,
And maybe you’ll be alright.
(Pre-Chorus)
I’ll show you what it means to fight,
To never quit, to find your light,
I hope you’ll take the good from me,
And the rest, just set the rest free.
(Chorus)
I wanna make you better than I’ve ever been,
Learn more from your losses than your wins
I’ll teach you how to rise, how to stand tall,
So when the world comes calling, you won’t fall.
I want you to be everything I couldn’t be,
I want you to be, a better man than me.
(Bridge)
You don’t have to take the same roads I did,
I hope you find a better way to live,
And if you ever feel lost, just know this truth,
I’ll always be right here, fighting for you.
(Chorus)
I wanna make you better than I’ve ever been,
Learn more from your losses than your wins
I’ll teach you how to rise, how to stand tall,
So when the world comes calling, you won’t fall.
I want you to be everything I couldn’t be,
I want you to be, a better man than me.
(Outro)
I’ll always be your guide,
Even when the road gets tough,
I’ll be right here by your side,
Making you stronger, making you enough.
You're already, A better man than me.
