[Verse 1]
Little cleats by the door
Broken bat on the lawn
Spilled milk on the Bible
Sunday shoes half on
I lose my temper
Then I bite my tongue
Three small shadows
Chasing what I’ve done
[Chorus]
Skyler
Luke and Caleb
Can you hear me?
Every prayer I’m whispering your names
I’m scared and I am stubborn and I’m weary
But I’m gonna stand here anyway
I don’t need perfect
I need mercy in my hands
God
Make them God‑fearing men
And make me that kind of man
[Verse 2]
Late night on the stairway
Homework spread like a war
Questions cut like metal
“Dad
What’s this life for?”
I stumble through answers
While my doubt runs deep
But I’m fighting for their souls
Every time they fall asleep
[Chorus]
Skyler
Luke and Caleb
Can you hear me?
Every prayer I’m whispering your names
I’m scared and I am stubborn and I’m weary
But I’m gonna stand here anyway
I don’t need perfect
I need mercy in my hands
God
Make them God‑fearing men
And make me that kind of man
[Bridge]
When they’re stronger than my shoulders (hey!)
When they’re walking out that door
Let them lean on more than bravado
Give them something worth bleeding for
Take my failures
Take my pride
Burn it down and build them right
Let them love truth more than winning
Let them stand up in the fight
[Chorus]
Skyler
Luke and Caleb
Can you hear me?
Every prayer I’m whispering your names
I’m scared and I am stubborn and I’m weary
But I’m gonna stand here anyway
I don’t need perfect
I need mercy in my hands
God
Make them God‑fearing men
Yeah
Make them God‑fearing men
And make me that kind of man
