Like a Rock (feat. Tim Be Told)

I used to sit on your shoulders, felt like I had a view

Of the whole globe right below us

I was young, but still old enough to know

That my daddy wasn't rich, but you had a heart of gold

These childhood memories are priceless

Far from perfect, you know how life gets

When did all start to go down hill

When I realized that this passion I had found's real

You claimed it was the

Worst decision I could ever make

To not chase it was a risk I could never take

Safe to say, as I got closer to my dreams

The bond between us was just tearin' at the seams

And so it seems the war is finally over

I'm older, but still that little boy that's on your shoulders

Lovin' me is all you've ever done

All I hear now are the words of a father to a son

Run a little faster, stand a little taller, I'll be there for you

Like a rock in the middle of a raging river

Fight a little harder, fly a little higher, I'll be there for you

Like a rock in the middle of a raging river

Sometimes you sit on my shoulders and it's a perfect view

Of the whole globe right below us

So much to say, kept words can't truly describe

How I felt inside the second that you arrived

A little bit of fear, a whole lot of joy

It still hasn't sunk in, man, I got a boy

Can't even lie, I'm concerned in every way

I guess all I can do is learn everyday

To me and mommy, your'e our number one

I often wonder what type of man you'll become

You'll do great things and that I'm confident

Always stay humble or miss the compliments

As for the ladies, save for the wedding ring

Always put God above everything

As long as I'm alive, my job is never done

These are just the words of a father to a son

Run a little faster, stand a little taller, I'll be there for you

Like a rock in the middle of a raging river

Fight a little harder, fly a little higher, I'll be there for you

Like a rock in the middle of a raging river

Maybe you're listenin' and you're contemplatin'

'Cause it's been awhile since y'all had a conversation

A simple call, time to man up

Before you hit that last digit, quick to hang up

Feels like there's no way it can be done

Pickin' up the phone and it weighs about a ton

But still not as heavy as your heart

Tryin' to make amends, not sure where you should start

Even if you talk, what do you say?

It's a scary thought, don't let pride get in the way

What a shame, share the last name, yet we're strangers

No pain remains forever, love can change us

Need someone to lift you up when you fall down

Separated, hesitate to tear the walls down

Forgiveness can heal when it's all said and done

That goes for both a father and a son

Run a little faster, stand a little taller, I'll be there for you

Like a rock in the middle of a raging river

Fight a little harder, fly a little higher, I'll be there for you

Like a rock in the middle of a raging river

So, steady as we go

Yes, there's always room to grow

Our love will be a rock in the middle of a raging river

So, steady as we go

Yes, there's always room to grow

Our love will be a rock in the middle of a raging river

So, steady as we go

Yes, theres always room to grow

Our love will be a rock in the middle of a raging river

So, steady as we go

Yes, there's always room to grow

Our love will be a rock in the middle of a raging river
