Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Little shoes in my hallway Chasing every step I take Rolling up his sleeves beside me Same old grin on a smaller face He’s watching how I tie my laces How I talk when I’m on the phone Copying my crooked posture Like he’s trying on my bones [Chorus] Little brother wants to be just like me Walk the way I walk Play the keys I play But a better man He will become I’m just clearing out the clouds He’s the rising sun Yeah A better man He will become [Verse 2] Tiny hands on the same old piano Hit the wrong note Laughs it off I would’ve cursed and slammed the cover He just shrugs and starts back at the top He’s asking if I’m ever lonely If heroes ever get afraid I tell him “yeah Most every morning” Hope he learns to stay anyway [Chorus] Little brother wants to be just like me Walk the way I walk Say the words I say But a better man He will become I’m just filling up his sails He’s the wind to come Yeah A better man He will become [Bridge] If you see me fall Take the lesson not the scar Take the courage Lose the damage Carry only what you are (mmm) I’ll be cheering from the back row When you finally overrun Everything I ever dreamed of You’ll be twice what I’ve begun [Chorus] Little brother wants to be just like me Walk the way I walk Play the keys I play But a better man He will become I’m a stepping stone you’re crossing You’re the chosen one Yeah A better man You’ll become A better man You’ll become
