SonShine
Today my son turned seventeen
A new world has just begun
With dirt on his jeans and a smile so wide
He's got a world ahead and places to drive
With you from the day you were born
Those first baby steps to say your mama's proud
Is an understatement
In the fields where he played
Chasing fireflies bright
With a stick in his hand
Sword of a brave knight
From riding his bike
In the summer's clear light
Dreaming big dreams
Beneath the stars at night
He's got dirt on his boots
And a world to unfold
In the blink of an eye
He'll be too old to hold
In the heart of this boy
Who will never grow old
He'll outgrow those boots
And the dreams he's believing
He's a wildflower blooming
That's the sweet, soft truth
You can't fight to hold him
The hardest part for your mama
Is letting you go, letting you grow
Raise him up right
Show him how to treat a lady right
Teach him to ride
Let him taste the freedom
Guide him through storms
Show him how to stand strong
In the light of day
Watch him chase the horizon
Cause tomorrow's adventure's where he belongs
In the heart of this boy
Who will never grow old
He'll outgrow those boots
And the dreams he's believing
He's a wildflower blooming
That's the sweet, soft truth
You can't fight to hold him
The hardest part for your mama
Is letting you go, letting you grow
He's got that carefree attitude
His mama's determination
Won't let anything stand in his way
He's a wildflower blooming
That's the sweet, soft truth
So watch him run
With the wind in his hair
Every step he takes
Is a prayer in the air
A boy turned to man
He'll forge his own road
With a heart full of fire
And a love to bestow
Letting you go
Never grow old
A new world has just begun
With dirt on his jeans and a smile so wide
He's got a world ahead and places to drive
With you from the day you were born
Those first baby steps to say your mama's proud
Is an understatement
In the fields where he played
Chasing fireflies bright
With a stick in his hand
Sword of a brave knight
From riding his bike
In the summer's clear light
Dreaming big dreams
Beneath the stars at night
He's got dirt on his boots
And a world to unfold
In the blink of an eye
He'll be too old to hold
In the heart of this boy
Who will never grow old
He'll outgrow those boots
And the dreams he's believing
He's a wildflower blooming
That's the sweet, soft truth
You can't fight to hold him
The hardest part for your mama
Is letting you go, letting you grow
Raise him up right
Show him how to treat a lady right
Teach him to ride
Let him taste the freedom
Guide him through storms
Show him how to stand strong
In the light of day
Watch him chase the horizon
Cause tomorrow's adventure's where he belongs
In the heart of this boy
Who will never grow old
He'll outgrow those boots
And the dreams he's believing
He's a wildflower blooming
That's the sweet, soft truth
You can't fight to hold him
The hardest part for your mama
Is letting you go, letting you grow
He's got that carefree attitude
His mama's determination
Won't let anything stand in his way
He's a wildflower blooming
That's the sweet, soft truth
So watch him run
With the wind in his hair
Every step he takes
Is a prayer in the air
A boy turned to man
He'll forge his own road
With a heart full of fire
And a love to bestow
Letting you go
Never grow old
