Story behind the song
I wa sitting there one day wondering what I could give my son for his birthday that would last a lifetime and that showed my feelings for him. After I started writing I realized the way it crossed over to talking about God talking to Jesus.
Lyrics
Sunrise, sleepy eyes Been dreamin of a better life Eight years old so much to see The flesh and blood of my body My life has changed in so many ways Been feelin things I can't seem to say Tryin to give that boy a dad Its something that I never had Said the father to the son Boy your life has just begun Theres still so many things you gotta learn And the hope I feel today Let it somehow light your way Let it guide you down these roads of twists and turns Lately I've been reachin out for a kid Its something that my grandaddy did Tryin to break the chains I'd lived before Tryin to give my son alittle more And the Man who died upon the cross for me I hope that you will some help me see Help me be a father to my son To carry on when my days are done Said the father to the son Boy your life has just begun Theres still so many things you gatta learn And the hope I feel today Let it somehow light your way Let it guide you down these roads of twists and turns Said the father to the son Boy your life has just begun Said the boy to his dad Your the best I ever had..
