I used to sit on your shoulders
Felt like I had a view of the whole globe right below us
I was young but still old enough to know
That my daddy wasn't rich but you had a heart of Gold
These childhood memories are priceless
Far from perfect you know how life gets
When did it all start to go downhill?
When I realised that this passion I had found is real
You claimed it this was the worst decision I could ever make
To not chase it was a risk I could never take
Safe to say as I got closer to my dreams
The bond between us was just tearing at the seams
And so it seems the war is finally over
I'm older but still that little boy thats on your shoulders
Loving me is all you ever done
All I hear now are the words of a father to a son
Run a little faster
Stand a little taller
Ill be there for you like a rock in the middle of a raging river
Fight a little harder
Fly a little higher
Ill be there for you like a rock in the middle of a raging river
Sometimes you sit on my shoulders
And is a perfect view of a whole globe right below us
So much to say can words cant truly describe how I felt inside the second that you've arrived
A little bit of fear
A whole lot of joy
It still hasn't sunk in man I got a boy
Cant even lie, im concerned in every way
I guess all I can do is learn everyday
To me and mummy you our number one
I often wonder what type of man you'll become
You'll do great things and that im confident
Always stay humble or miss the compliments
As for the ladies, save for the wedding ring
Always put God in front of everything
As long as Im alive my job is never done
These are just the words of a father to a son…
Run a little faster
Stand a little taller
Ill be there for you like a rock in the middle of a raging river
Fight a little harder
Fly a little higher
Ill be there for you like a rock in the middle of a raging river
Maybe you're listening and your contemplating
Coz its been a while since ya'll had a conversation
A simple call, time to man up
Before you hit that last digit quick to hang up
Feels like there's no way it can be done
Picking up the phone and it weighs about a tonne
But, still not as heavy as your heart
Trying to make amends not sure of where you should start
Even if you talk, what do you say?
Is a scary thought don't let pride get in the way
What a shame, share a last name yet we're strangers
No pain remains forever love can change us
Need someone to lift you up when you fall down
Separated, hesitated to tear the walls down
Forgiveness can heal when its all said and done
That goes for both a father and a son
Run a little faster
Stand a little taller
Ill be there for you like a rock in the middle of the raging river
Fight a little harder
Fly a little higher
Ill be there for you like a rock in the middle of a raging river
So steady as we go
Yes there is always room to grow
Our love will be a rock in the middle of a raging river
So steady as we go
Yes there is always room to grow
Our love will be a rock in the middle of a raging river
So steady as we go
Yes there is always room to grow
Our love will be a rock in the middle of a raging river
So steady as we go
Yes there is always room to grow
Our love will be a rock in the middle of a raging river
