Praying for My Kids
Oh, how time flies, still hard to grasp that I'm a father
Waking up from being a child into the reality I live in
Remember being out of breath after three kids
I said, "Wait," you said, "You'll see, they'll grow up and you will understand."
Suddenly they're six, soon to be seven, and how amazing they are
But the pressure grew intense, built itself a tower
The heart only has two rooms
And the conscience's working even on Saturdays and holidays
You've been the Mother of the Year for years
I'm still terrified that...
I won't make it in time
To guard, to save, to rescue
To take the bullet for them
Oh, how vulnerable is the heart
I pray that my kids
Won't inherit my issues
That they'd embrace each other
May they'll be healthy forever, amen
I want to be there for them just like I promised
To sit at the end of the day, knowing I've succeeded
Meanwhile I'm counting small victories, happy I didn't run away
To the bathroom or the computer, I just stopped and listened
To the stories about birds
To the thoughts, to the drawings
To the dreams they'll fulfill someday
To the heroes, to the princesses
With their silent eyes
There's a sea of secrets if you truly listen
I pray that my kids
Won't inherit my issues
That they'd embrace each other
May they'll be healthy forever, amen
I pray, pray, pray that my kids
Won't inherit my issues
That they'd embrace each other
May they'll be healthy forever, amen
I'm standing, looking from the sidelines
Watching from the outside, cheering on
Even from the abyss, even from the sky
I'll drop everything to be there
Just embrace each other
May you'll be healthy forever, amen
