when i fall you feel the pain
when i thirst you pray for rain
when i try you cheer me on
when i win you say you knew all along

you gave so much to teach me
the lessons, they didn’t always reach me
of all i’ve learned, i know this is true
i could not ever stop thanking you

i may not say it that often
but i hope you know it’s true
when i grow up i want to be
just like you

when i cried you wiped the tears
killed the monsters and calmed my fears
when i stayed out i knew you’d worry
when i slept, you prayed over me

you make it look so easy
it’s what i dream to be
i hope you finish what you’ve begun
i’m so proud to be your son
