Through my eyes

I held your hand the day you came A fragile spark, a brand new flame

The world was heavy, the times were lean But you were the brightest I'd ever seen

Through war and famine, rain and sun I watched you stumble, I watched you run

Every heart beat, my silent prayer That I'd never lay you in the ground out there

Through my eyes, you'll always be The boy who learned to climb that tree

Rich or poor, come what may Love's the thread that never frays

And my hope, my only plea Is you'll live long enough to bury me

You found your voice, you found your fight You made it through the darkest nights

I saw you stand, I saw you fall But son, you always gave your all

Then one day in your wedding suit I saw the man who took root

A father now with children near The circle turning year by year

Through my eyes, you'll always be The boy who learned to climb that tree

Rich or poor, come what may Love's the thread that never frays

And my hope, my only plea Is you'll live long enough to bury me

We've faced the storms, we've crossed the streams Every moment stitched with dreams

Pop the confetti, let memories shine In this life, I wish you the best time

With every laugh, with every tear You've made it strong despite the fear

In the echoes of days gone by Know I'm proud as you touch the sky

Through the years, I'll be your guide In every challenge, I'll stand by your side

Just know my heart is full of pride As you journey on this wild ride

With a family of your own to love Take these lessons, rise above

Through my eyes, you'll still be free The boy who climbed that mighty tree

Through my eyes, you'll always be The boy who learned to climb that tree

Rich or poor, come what may Love's the thread that never frays

And my hope, my only plea Is you'll live long enough to bury me

So carry on through life's great scene Your journey's just begun, my dream

With each step forward, don't forget this plea You'll live long enough to bury me

You'll see

Thanks for watching
