[Verse]
He taught me how to mend a fence,
With calloused hands and patience dense.
"Son, it ain't just wood and wire," he'd say,
"It's holding ground against time's decay."
The creek out back was where we'd fish,
He'd say, "Life’s not perfect, but it’s a gift."
A cane pole, a laugh, and a sky so wide,
He taught me the value of time by his side.
[Chorus]
It’s the little things, the simple things,
The lessons hidden in what life brings.
Like mending fences, catching streams,
Chasing sunlight, chasing dreams.
He said, "Every moment's a seed to sow,
You reap the love from the things you grow."
[Verse 2]
When I got older, I chased the road,
Carrying the weight of the seeds he sowed.
"Don’t rush the rain, let it soak you through,
The storms’ll teach you what’s strong in you."
And when the world knocked me to my knees,
I heard his voice in the autumn breeze,
"Get up, boy, don’t let it slip away,
Every breath is a chance, a brand-new day."
[Chorus]
It’s the little things, the simple things,
The lessons hidden in what life brings.
Like mending fences, catching streams,
Chasing sunlight, chasing dreams.
He said, "Every moment's a seed to sow,
You reap the love from the things you grow."
