"Little Marathon Man" lyrics

Hey, my little man
Run ahead and grow as tall as you can
Buckle up, yeah, and listen in
I'm gonna say it again and again
Stabilise, yeah, but take the wheels
No one gets to tell you how to feel
I'll stick around like cedar trees
Always gonna make a home for honey bees

You'll forever be taking baby steps
One at a time so you don't forget

You gotta pace yourself
Try keep your feet on the ground
My little marathon man
And I'll brace myself while
You learn how to fly
My little marathon man

Hey, my little man
Make your choices just as good as you can
'Cause I know just what it means
Girls and cigarettes at seventeen
My man, if I was you I'd straighten up
I don't wanna catch you talking back to your mum
God knows
I've been around, but then again
I'm always trying to be a little better for ya

We'll forever be taking baby steps
Together, one at a time so we don't forget

You gotta pace yourself
Try keep your feet on the ground
My little marathon man
And I'll brace myself
While you learn how to fly
My little marathon man

Gotta pace yourself
Try keep your feet on the ground
My little marathon man
And I'll brace myself
While you learn how to fly
My little marathon man

My little marathon man
My little marathon man
My little marathon man
My little marathon man
