Two Shadows In The Sun

Verse

He's got my ball cap pulled down low,

She's got her mama's smile that steals the show.

He's chasing footballs in the yard,

She's painting rainbows on old fence boards.

And I just stand there, trying not to blink,

'Cause they're growing faster than I think.

Pre-chorus

Every laugh, every tear, every little thing they do,

Feels like a mirror looking back at me and you.

Chorus

Two shadows in the sun, running wild and free,

One's learning how to be a man, one's learning how to dream.

They're watching every move I make,

Every promise that I keep or break.

So I hold my head high, try to be the one

They believe I am 1 for my daughter and my son.

Verse

He asks me why the stars don't fall,

She asks if love can fix it all.

I give 'em answers best I can,

Sometimes I just hold their hands.

And when they stumble, I'm right there,

Teaching them the weight of care.

Pre-chorus

Every word, every choice, every road I choose to run,

Is shaping who they'll be when their childhood's done.

Chorus

Two shadows in the sun, running wild and free,

One's learning how to be a man, one's learning how to dream.

They're watching every move I make,

Every promise that I keep or break.

So I hold my head high, try to be the one

They believe I am 1 for my daughter and my son.

Bridge

One day they'll walk away, chasing their own skies,

But I'll still be the voice they hear when they close their eyes.

Chorus

Two shadows in the sun, running wild and free,

One's got my stubborn heart, one's got her mama's peace.

They're watching every move I make,

Every promise that I keep or break.

So I hold my head high, try to be the one

They believe I am 1 for my daughter and my son.

tag

Yeah, I'm the lucky one...

With two shadows in the sun.
