[Verse 1]
You were fifteen when you said,
“I know exactly who I’ll be”
Headphones on, the bass turned up,
Shaking every wall around me
I’d knock and tell you, “Turn it down,”
You’d smile and turn it right back on
Even then you had a vision,
And you were already chasing songs
[Pre-Chorus]
You never followed someone else’s road
Never changed yourself to fit the crowd
You wore your dreams out in the open
And somehow made me laugh out loud
[Chorus]
And I’m proud of the fire in your soul
Proud of the way you never let it go
From those late-night beats in your bedroom light
To chasing every dream into the night
You were a wild child, that’s the truth
But you made life brighter just being you
And I know someday the whole world will see
The same heart that’s always meant so much to me
[Drop]
Oh-oh-oh
Keep reaching for the sky
Oh-oh-oh
You’re born to make them come alive
[Verse 2]
You still make every room laugh harder
Still got that confidence in your eyes
Still creating something beautiful
Out of sounds and sleepless nights
The stages may get bigger
The crowds may know your name
But the kindness in your heart
Will always be your greatest thing
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep showing up, you keep believing
Working while the world sleeps at night
Every step you’re taking forward
Feels like watching stars ignite
[Chorus]
And I’m proud of the fire in your soul
Proud of the way you never let it go
From those late-night beats in your bedroom light
To chasing every dream into the night
You were a wild child, that’s the truth
But you made life brighter just being you
And I know someday the whole world will see
The same heart that’s always meant so much to me
[Bridge]
Some kids spend years searching
For who they’re meant to be
You already knew the answer
When you were fifteen
And I have no doubt you’ll make it
Not because of luck or fame
But because you never stopped believing
And you never walked away
[Final Chorus]
I’m proud of the fire in your soul
Proud of the way you never let it go
Keep turning dreams into reality
Keep becoming who you’re meant to be
You’ll always be my son
No matter how far you roam
And every crowd you’re moving
Will feel a little bit like home
Oh-oh-oh
Keep reaching for the sky
Oh-oh-oh
Your moment’s coming, I know why
Because that dream you’ve carried all this time
Was always yours to bring to life
