Lyrics

Verse 1

Met you on a Friday morning,
Tiny hands wrapped ‘round my thumb.
Didn’t know my heart could open
Quite as wide as it’s become.

Pre-Chorus

I’ll be here through every season,
Every mile on down the road.
Teach you right, give you reason,
In the stories I’ve been told.

Chorus

I’ll be your compass, when the night feels long,
Your steady back porch, your favorite song.
I’ll show you love, and the strength to be real,
One day you’ll stand tall in these little boots to fill.

Verse 2

We’ll skip rocks on that old river,
Talk about the man you’ll be.
I’ll show you faith, I’ll show you laughter,
And the way to set dreams free.

Pre-Chorus

When the world feels heavy on you,
Son, I’ll be your steady ground.
Lean on me, you’ll always find me,
That’s what grandpas are about.

Chorus

I’ll be your compass, when the night feels long,
Your steady back porch, your favorite song.
I’ll show you grace, teach you how to heal,
One day you’ll stand tall in these little boots to fill.

Bridge (Build Up)

Life’s a winding road, but you ain’t alone,
Take each step with pride, carry love back home.
And when you stumble, boy, just know I will,
Pick you up again… those boots are made to build.

Chorus (Big, Last Run)

I’ll be your compass, when the night feels long,
Your steady back porch, your favorite song.
I’ll show you love, and a faith that’s real,
One day you’ll stand tall in these little boots to fill.

Outro (Soft)

From the cradle to manhood, I’ll watch you grow,
And I’ll thank the Lord for letting me know…
What it means to be proud, what it means to be still,
Watching you walk in those little boots to fill.
