For every first

I held your hand when you first stood tall,

Caught your steps so you wouldn’t fall.

Heard your laugh like a summer breeze,

A sound that brought me to my knees.

I watched your world begin to spin,

Skinned knees, wide eyes, tiny grin.

I may be tough when the days get wild,

But I’m always soft when it comes to my child.

---

🌤 [Chorus]

For every first, I was right there,

From midnight cries to morning prayers.

Every scraped knee, every small win,

I cheered you on through thick and thin.

One day you’ll run where I can’t go,

But I’ll be proud from far below.

I give you all I never knew—

So you can be better than me, Luke.

---

There’ll come a day you won’t need my arms,

You’ll trade toy swords for grown-up charms.

But don’t forget who showed you skies,

And taught you truth behind the whys.

I’ll teach you strength that’s calm and kind,

To keep your soul and guard your mind.

And when the world forgets to pray,

I’ll remind you Who lights the way.

---

🌤 [Chorus – Bigger Emotion]

For every first, I stood by you,

Even when you never knew.

From the sandbox talks to quiet nights,

I held you close through every fight.

One day you’ll grow, and I’ll let go,

But I’ll be near, just so you know.

I give you all I couldn’t be—

So you can stand tall and free, Luke.

---

🙏 [Bridge – Soft & Soulful]

And if you fall, son, fall with grace,

This world don’t move at a gentle pace.

But love your God, keep your feet on ground,

That’s where the strongest hearts are found.

---

🌤 [Final Chorus – Acoustic Drop, Then Full Band Lift]

For every first and every fall,

For every dream, both big and small—

I’ll be the voice inside your fight,

The reason you sleep sound at night.

One day you’ll soar and chase the sun,

Forget the days we used to run...

But I was there when it began—

And I’ll always be your biggest fan.

Forever your home... your first best man.

Love you, Luke — do the best you can.

---

I’ll always be here... for every first.

And every step after that.

Forget the days we used to run...

But I was there when it began—

And I’ll always be your biggest fan.

Forever your home... your first best man.

Love you, Luke — do the best you can.

---

I’ll always be here... for every first.

And every step after that.
