Turning

Mom always said one day
I'd have a kid just like me
Both a curse and a blessing
I'm not sure which it will be
But I know that every season turning
I find me turning like you
I didn't know what I'd be when I grow up
Now I think I do

I see you when I drive a friend home
I see you when I come too early to the airport
I see you when I sing in church
I see you when I hug someone like they're gonna burst
I see you when I'm tired at the end of the day
I see you when I patiently explain
I see you when I don't know if things will be okay

When I was young I knew
I wanted to play the guitar
I didn't get it from rock and roll
When dad can play who needs the stars
Playing in the dark on Christmas eve
Leading the church in song
When it rings against my chest
I feel you strum along

I see you when I drive a friend home
I see you when I come too early to the airport
I see you when I sing in church
I see you when I hug someone like they're gonna burst
I see you when I'm tired at the end of the day
I see you when I patiently explain
I see you when I don't know if things will be okay

I watched a musical the other day
Where a mother of a painter says
The only things worthwhile the leaving
Are kids and art, alive and breathing
I don't when my kids are coming
So this song will have to do
I want you to know
They're your songs too

I wanna help them level up in video games
I wanna think real hard about their names
I wanna help them write their book reports too well
I wanna hear the stories that they tell
I wanna run to them when they scrape their knee
I wanna find out what they'll grow up to be
I want them to see you when they see me
