[Verse 1]
I got Atlas first, tiny hand around my thumb
Morning came in early, and the quiet days were done
Then another little blessing found a place beside my heart
Two bright reasons every day to make a brand-new start
[Pre-Chorus]
There are toys beneath the table, little shoes beside the door
And I keep finding crumbs in places crumbs have never been before
[Chorus]
They are true blessings, every laugh and every tear
Two grandkids, two bright lights, making every season dear
I would not trade this life for all the gold the world could bring
Though I might trade a dollar for a little sleep in spring
They are true blessings, and I thank my lucky stars
For the messy, busy, beautiful way they fill my heart
[Verse 2]
Atlas asks a hundred questions before breakfast hits the plate
The little one can turn a quiet room into a parade
I know the bedtime stories, every shortcut to the park
And I can find a missing sock by feeling in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I need a minute, some days I need a chair
Then they climb up beside me, and I forget I needed air
[Chorus]
They are true blessings, every laugh and every tear
Two grandkids, two bright lights, making every season dear
I would not trade this life for all the gold the world could bring
Though I might trade a dollar for a little sleep in spring
They are true blessings, and I thank my lucky stars
For the messy, busy, beautiful way they fill my heart
[Bridge]
Maybe rest is what I’m missing, maybe gray is in my hair
But I’d choose these little footsteps over silence anywhere
When they call me, I come running, no matter what the hour
Love can make you tired and still remind you of your power
[Final Chorus]
They are true blessings, every laugh and every tear
Two grandkids, two bright lights, making every season dear
I would not trade this life for anything the world could bring
Though I might trade a dollar for a Sunday afternoon to sleep
They are true blessings, and I thank my lucky stars
For Atlas and his sibling, the two keepers of my heart
[Outro]
Two keepers of my heart
Wouldn’t trade them for the world
Just maybe one more hour of rest
