Find My Own Way

Since the day you were born in the warmth of September It's been a journey that I'd never trade Smiles and vomit and hugs and the works I'm always there when the danger lurks "I'll find my own way" you would say with a scowl "I'm just trying my best my dear" Just know while you're looking I'll help you see through I'll be there lighting a path for you A house that once flooded with water has sprouted A beauty for the world to see Skinned knees and flowers and scooters and songs This is the place where we can always belong "I'll find my own way" you would say with a scowl "I'm just trying my best my dear" Just know while you're looking I'll help you see through Wherever you end up, stay you Chalk up the sidewalk, kick balls through the windows It will all change soon enough For now we will walk up the mountain together Sharing every single bump in the road Before you arrived there was no way of knowing How unconditional love is Wherever you go as you follow your arrow I'l be there walking the path with you. Maybe someday you might say with a smile "It's pretty cool you were there Dad" Just hope you felt safe everyday and I say Thank you for helping me find my own way"
