Shoulders

 We took off in my plane

Your eyes grew wide

As we soared into the sunrise

You asked me when I learned to fly

I replied, “You were watching the whole time.”

You woke up from that dream

And scratched your head,

Wondering what it all meant

You told me what you saw the night before

It made me love you a little more

I’m standing on your shoulders

You turned my green to golden

It still comes as a surprise

Whenever I look in your eyes

Without fail, I always find the man I want to be

I’m standing on your shoulders

I watched you bear that cross upon your back

All along an ancient path

You showed me how to find my way back home

And I have never walked alone

I’m standing on your shoulders

You turned my green to golden

It still comes as a surprise

Whenever I look in your eyes

Without fail, I always find the man I want to be

I’m standing on your shoulders

I cannot count the times you’ve caught me from the fall

I hear your voice when my back’s up against a wall

When the darkness makes me feel I’m far away from you

You gently remind me that this never was nor will be true

I’m standing on your shoulders

You turned my green to golden

It still comes as a surprise

Whenever I look in your eyes

Without fail, I always find the man I want to be

I’m standing on your shoulders

You asked me when I learned to fly

I replied, “You were watching the whole time.”
