about

Dedicated to James Hood

lyrics

Little man, I'll do all that I can
To be all you need
And this I swear by the name that we share
By the blood we bleed
But when you're older, and wiser, and bolder
You will come to know
We are all just as small as each other
Though we try to grow

But the proudest medals I have earned
Come from battles that I haven't won
And the hardest lesson I have learned
Is how to be my father's son
The hardest lesson I have learned
Is how to be my father's son

I will carry your pain as my own
I will bear your scars
And I'll survive on your triumph and joy
And treasure all you are
But you will see that although I believe
That I will pass this test
There are powers much greater than men
Though we try our best

But the proudest medals I have earned
Come from battles that I haven't won
And the hardest lesson I have learned
Is how to be my father's son
The hardest lesson I have learned
Is how to be my father's son

We're told that men are stone,
Solid and unmoving,
But even stones wear down with time
There is no weakness in a growing, changing mind

But the proudest medals I have earned
Come from battles that I haven't won
And the hardest lesson I have learned
Is how to be my father's son
The hardest lesson I have learned
Is how to be my father's son
