"Proud Father" lyrics

There will be crying
Being the man that you should
But, always be trying
To see all the bad and the good
And yours is a promising future
But, know if it all were to fade
But a proud father of me
You have already made

And I'll try to be
All of the answers that you'd ever need
And I'll try to show
All of the love that you need to know

May the sparks in your eyes
Outlive the lines on your face
Hold on to the moments in time
When you and I share the same space
And thoughts of you hurt me
But I know the feeling of wrong
'Cause there are lessons to learn
In all of the places I've gone

And I'll try to be
All of the answers you'd ever need
And I'll try to show
All of the love that you need to know

So hold on to someone
Who'll love you through the hot
And the cold
And hold on to someone
Who'll love you
No matter what they know
Just hold on to someone
Who'll love you when your hot
And when your cold
And hold on to someone
Who'll love you
No matter who they know

Open your mind
So colors of skill you embrace
And open your eyes
To harmony coming of age
It won't always be easy to love
When you give and you never get back
But, no one's intended to die
With their heart still intact

And I'll try to be
All of the answers that you'd ever need
And I'll try to show
All of the love that you need to know

So take time to be still and to know
That all of the world that you'll face
That a proud father of me
You have already made
