When I look at you

I hold you close, your head on my chest
Your breathing slows, the world gets quiet
All the noise fades, all the stress
In this moment, nothing can break it

I’ve made mistakes you’ll never see
Fought battles you don’t yet know
But every fear lets go of me
When your little hand won’t let go

I don’t have all the answers, son
I won’t pretend I’m always strong
But if the world ever gets too loud
You’ll always know where you belong

When I look at you, I see tomorrow
Every reason I still try
You don’t know it yet, but you saved me
Just by looking in my eyes

If I fall, I’ll get back up
Because you’re watching me
I’ll be the man I promise you
Even when it’s hard to be

I’ll teach you love, I’ll teach you truth
I’ll teach you how to stand
And when I don’t know what to do
I’ll still hold your hand

One day you’ll walk ahead of me
Stronger than I’ve ever been
But no matter how far you go
My heart will always run with him

So sleep now, safe and warm
The world can wait outside
As long as you’re here in my arms
I know I’m doing something right
