14. Little Hands
[Verse 1]
Amazing raising a child that grows from the inches
Doors and the hinges, you warn how it pinches
Dishes, piles, like the chores, like their wishes
Their Smiles in the room, make it warm when its Christmas
Oranges, the wish list, not a chore in the physics
More like a miracle than the stork when it visits
They get a sugar rush, and when they go ballistic
Vicious, energy knowing no sorta limit
When the fogies go hogey they're not tellin the truth
Rebellious in our nature, their just jealous of youth
Every season its my reason that I yell in the booth
Swell, and they stoup, but then they tripped and fell in the proof
Off topic, but I swarm like a tropical storm
I just feel like a kid ever since my daughters were born
Bridgette and Alexys light my day like the sun
I Thought I lived once, but life's new day has begun
[Hook]
Gotta find the balance and be a bigger man
Adding to the tree bearing branches where it stands
Gotta go to work and I gotta dig the land
I Redefined my worth since I seen little hands
Gotta find the balance and be a bigger man
Now its a gathering with the figures in the sand
Gotta go to work and I gotta dig the land
I Redefined my worth since I seen little hands
[Verse 2]
Click, bang, you know the pain of the trip
The kinda slip that you take on the skates with a stick
With every mistake, break, little scrape from on the brick
Let kids be kids, but let em know that danger exists
Count with the numbers, and you play with the words
You Smile when your child says the things are absurd
Given a right, but you can see the light in the sand
Can't describe the feeling when you see life in their hands
Life, to see this, never would taken a guess
The breath, the very second air inflates in their chest
From a ball in the belly, to a babe in the bath
For every single pain, you would have taken the wrath
Jenn, despite the past, you knew it was bad
I'm just thankful for the beautiful daughters we had
Jordynne-Mae, you can find my shoulder safe as a pad
I Can't wait for the day our son can play with his dad
[Hook]
Gotta find the balance and be a bigger man
Adding to the tree bearing branches where it stands
Gotta go to work and I gotta dig the land
I Redefined my worth since I seen little hands
Gotta find the balance and be a bigger man
Now its a gathering with the figures in the sand
Gotta go to work and I gotta dig the land
I Redefined my worth since I seen little hands
[Bridge]
Ball of life, ball of life, little ball of light
Let me show you how to walk and hold your bottle right
Know I'll keep you safe when we're walkin through the night
Ball of light, ball of light, walking through this life
x2
[Hook]
Gotta find the balance and be a bigger man
Adding to the tree bearing branches where it stands
Gotta go to work and I gotta dig the land
I Redefined my worth since I seen little hands
Gotta find the balance and be a bigger man
Now its a gathering with the figures in the sand
Gotta go to work and I gotta dig the land
I Redefined my worth since I seen little hands
