Making Strong Boys

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Coffee on, lunch bags lined by the door Two pairs of sneakers, mud on the floor You check every fever, you pack every meal Make hard days bend with a laugh that feels real Bills on the counter, sleeves rolled high You keep both boys steady when the week runs dry No extra hands, still you get it all done Morning to bedtime, you’re raising two sons [Chorus] You keep this little house standing tall Feed two growing hearts, catch them when they fall When the days get heavy, you still find a smile Making strong boys, one mile at a time [Verse 2] You know every cough and the right kind of tea You turn a plain supper to a feast for three Shoelaces tied, clean shirts on their backs You give them your strength when the world pushes back Some nights you’re tired, but you don’t let it show You tell them they’re capable, then watch them grow No grand parade, no big shining crown Just your steady love keeping everybody sound [Chorus] You keep this little house standing tall Feed two growing hearts, catch them when they fall When the days get heavy, you still find a smile Making strong boys, one mile at a time [Bridge] They’ll learn how to stand from the way that you do How to work through the hard and stay kind-hearted too Every small thing you do leaves a mark that stays true [Final Chorus] You keep this little house standing tall Feed two growing hearts, catch them when they fall When the days get heavy, you still find a smile Making strong boys, one mile at a time [Outro] Betty boop this ones for you
