Verse 1)
I walked into your world one quiet day,
Didn’t know just how my life would change,
There you stood with Julia by your side,
And little Stacy with those trusting eyes,
Lauren, you were strong but worn and true,
And somehow I just knew what I had to do.
(Verse 2)
It wasn’t blood that drew that line for me,
It was love that made this family,
Bedtime prayers and fixing broken things,
Schoolyard talks and all the in-betweens,
I learned that being there is what makes a man,
Not where you start, but where you stand.
(Chorus)
Now we’re a family built on more than name,
On respect and love that never fades,
I’ll stand between the dark you cannot see,
Fight the storms before they reach your dreams,
Lauren, Julia, Stacy—you’re my world, my truth,
And I’ll spend forever protecting you.
(Verse 3)
Sometimes danger don’t come loud and clear,
It hides in doubt, it whispers fear,
But I’ll be watching every step you take,
Guarding hearts that time can’t break,
From silent worries to the weight of the day,
I’ll carry what I can so you’ll be okay.
(Bridge)
And as the years keep rolling on,
Through right and wrong, through weak and strong,
We’ll hold the line we’ve drawn in love,
With steady hands and faith above,
A promise made, a life we choose,
A bond no storm could ever loosen or bruise.
(Chorus)
Yeah, we’re a family built on more than name,
On respect and love that never fades,
I’ll stand between the dark you cannot see,
Fight the storms before they reach your dreams,
Lauren, Julia, Stacy—you’re my world, my truth,
And I’ll spend forever protecting you.
(Outro)
For as long as there’s breath in me,
This is who we’ll always be,
A home where love and respect run deep,
And promises we’ll always keep.
