Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Tiny shoes by the door Crayon suns on the fridge We cheer every wobbling step While we’re learning how to live We bandage scraped-up knees Hide our fear in a smile Tell stories at the edge of the bed And pray “keep them safe awhile” [Chorus] Fathers We watch them grow We watch them learn and explore We stand between them and a world Full of teeth Full of claws Then one day our arms aren’t enough We’ve done all we can That’s when we open our fingers And put them in God’s hands [Verse 2] Driver’s seat Shaking keys We say “text when you arrive” Teaching them the roads we took And the ones we didn’t survive We can’t tame every storm Can’t catch every fall So we write our love on their hearts Then we let You hold it all [Chorus] [Bridge] I’ll still pace the kitchen floor Stare down the midnight phone But when the worry starts to roar I remember they’re not mine alone [Chorus]

Warm acoustic folk with male vocals and a gentle, steady pulse. Fingerpicked guitar and soft upright bass, brushed drums entering on the first chorus. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus blooms with subtle harmonies and a pad under the vocal. Bridge lifts with a simple piano doubling the guitar, then everything falls back to guitar and voice for the final chorus., world
