Two Small Suns

Little shoes by the front door

Legos all over the floor

You're laughing in your superhero capes

I'm moving slow

But I still chase

Every step pulls on my bones

Lightning in my nerves

Deep in my soul

But you say

"Dad, come see my drawing"

So I stand up

And I keep going

'Cause you are my two small sons

Burning through the clouds when the day feels done

When the pain runs wild and I come undone

I remember who I'm fighting for

You are my two small sons

Turning every scar into something strong

If I got one breath left, I'll hold on

I'll learn how to stay, I'll learn how to love

For my two small sons

Doctor bills on the table stacked

Some days I just want my old life back

But then you climb on my broken frame

Say you're the strongest person in the game

You don't see every sleepless night

You just see me there at the bedside light

Reading that same book for the hundredth time

Hiding every wince between the lines

'Cause you are my two small sons

Burning through the clouds when the day feels done

When the pain runs wild and I come undone

I remember who I'm fighting for

You are my two small sons

Turning every scar into something strong

If I got one breath left, I'll hold on

I'll learn how to stay, I'll learn how to love

For my two small sons

One day you'll see the battle I've been in

How heavy every simple thing has been

I pray you'll know I gave all I could give

Not perfect, just present

Is how I choose to live

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

'Cause you are my two small sons

Burning through the clouds when the day feels done

When the pain runs wild and I come undone

I remember who I'm fighting for

You are my two small sons
