Yeah It's the rhythm of the morning
Before the coffee hits the blood
It's about showing up
Every single day Wake up
Good morning eyelids heavy but I'm up with a jolt
Not a medical condition just the love that I hold
The silence of the house yeah it plays no part
'Cause what's waiting downstairs kickstarts the heart
I descend the steps wood creaking in the light
And there he is sitting pretty waiting for the sight
Bright eyes tail wagging like a metronome beat
Ears straight full attention sitting at my feet
A warm greeting collision of the fur and the skin
Toys flying across the floor let the chaos begin
You want some food perhaps? Yeah I know the deal
But first I need the caffeine to calibrate the feel
He waits patiently looking with a feverish gaze
While I prepare the meal in the morning haze
Hand-prepared organic yeah we keep it ideal
Finished in a minute flatman the hunger is real
A bone tor the strong teeth yeah you gotta have that
Get myself ready put on the shoes and the hat
Leash on door open and we fly out the frame
Into the world playing the beautiful game
No kind of bond even comes close
It's the medicine you need when you're down in the ropes
Better than family? Maybe It gives me the hope
To carry the weight to climb up the slope
It's the first heartbeat you hold in your hand
If you can't love the fur don't wish for the skin
It's the practice run for where life begins
Now what I describe is the absolute truth
But I'm not saying it's easy I'm looking at the youth
A dog isn't for the lazy the needy or the weak
That includes the ones who are selfish and sleek
The bond is built brick by heavy brick
It's a mortar and a pestle it doesn't come quick
I go through the mud no matter how thick
If you can't handle the vomit or the bark or the tick
Then how you gonna handle a child when they're sick?
I see it as a test a university class
If you fail with the canine you don't get a pass
And don't you dare think that the love is a trade
Oh the baby is coming so the dog must fade?
Throwing out the first soul to make room for the new?
That's the ugliest thing that a man can do
You don't swap out the family when the dynamics change
You expand the circle you widen the range
No kind of bond even comes close
It's the medicine you need when you're down in the ropes
Better than family? Maybe It gives me the hope
To carry the weight to climb up the slope
It's the first heartbeat you hold in your hand
If you can't love the fur don't wish for the skin
It's the practice run for where life begins
I stick to the principle I stand on the rock
Whether I'm rocking a cradle or walking the block
I realized early if I can't build this nest
For the four-legged friend then I fail the test
But I passed that class yeah I studied the text
So I'm ready for whatever challenge is on the path next
Maybe there's a kid maybe there's just us
But I balance the scales without making a fuss
I got enough love for the paw and the palm
I can handle the storm and I can handle the calm
So take a look in the mirror before you reproduce
If you can't walk the dog you've got no excuse
Yeah It's about capacity
Expanding the heart not replacing it
If you can't handle the leash
You definitely can't handle the stroller
Think about it Don't be a trope
Fuck it man be the damn hope
Go on the journey go on that stroll
Step wisely and take care of the soul
