Guiding Light for My Son

[Intro]
Watching you grow, with your bright eyes
Learning from your smile, as the days go by
I’ve walked some wrong roads, made my share of mistakes
But now I see, it’s a new dawn I wanna shape

[Verse 1]
Little hands, big dreams, a world so wide
I wanna teach you love, be your guiding light
Respect in your heart, kindness in your soul
Cherish the small moments, make them your gold

[Pre-Chorus]
Every little laugh, every gentle hug
That’s the real treasure, worth more than gold
I’ll show you the right way, with every step I take
A better path to walk, for your future’s sake

[Chorus]
My son, I wanna teach you how to love and be true
To hold the little joys, and see the world anew
Respect and kindness, the best thing to give
Living simple and free, that’s how I want you to live

[Verse 2]
There were times I lost my way, I’ve made my mistakes
Now I wish I’d learned sooner, the love I should give
So I’ll show you patience, and how to forgive
Build a life filled with joy, in ways I wish I’d live

[Pre-Chorus]
Every smile you share, every gentle word
Builds a brighter tomorrow, in ways unheard
I want you to grow strong, and always stay kind
Keep your heart open, and your dreams aligned

[Chorus]
My son, I wanna teach you how to love and be true
To hold the little joys, and see the world anew
Respect and kindness, the best thing to give
Living simple and free, that’s how I want you to live

[Bridge]
From my mistakes to your new start
You’re the reason I’m healing my heart
Guide you with wisdom, teach you to see
The beauty in life, and how to be free

[Outro]
So here I stand, with hope and grace
A better way for you, I want to embrace
My love for you, forever bright
A new beginning, in your shining light
