We never saw it coming
Never knew what would unfold
Never dreamed how much it changed us
Bringing a new life into this world
We hold the bundles in our arms
Then watched them spread their wings
Tried to help along the way
With what wisdom we could bring
We’re gonna sing our songs
And hope they didn’t turn out wrong
We’re gonna sing our songs
To you
They’ve gone from boys to men
On a path to who knows where
With their own songs to sing
Their dreams
It’s not an easy journey
There’s many bumps along the way
They’ve barely started walking
Before they’re running far away
You try to so hard to keep them safe
When that’s the last thing on their minds
They fight for independence
We just hang on for the ride
We’re gonna sing our songs ….
We scream and shout
Throw our arms about
We rage into the night
Then we settle down
Watch the world go ‘round
And hold on with all our might
Now we see them from a distance That they’ll learn from our mistakes
As they struggle to find their way That they’ll figure out what matters
Sometimes they follow in our footsteps Are the friendships that they make
Sometimes they run the other way
You hope they’ll find the easier road We’re gonna sing our songs …….
