Father To a Son

Slow down and believe me when I say
Once upon a time I was like you
Godspeed little man
Just be yourself no matter what you do

You started a fire
You set my heart at ease my precious son
No matter what you do
I'll be right here next to you
Whatever you become
Father to son

So young with the world upon your shoulders
You lie awake and try to figure out
All the secrets to life
Don't tell you

You started a fire
You set my world at ease my precious one
A light to guide me home
No matter what you do
I'll go anywhere for you
Whatever you become
A father to son

With arms around the world
We pretend that we still care
Through the eyes of a newborn baby
We live a life by chance

Slow down and believe me when I say
Once upon a time I was you
