[Verse]

Been thinkin’ ’bout a way to put into words

The feelings I’ve been havin’ recently

They come at me in waves off and on it seems

Mixed with moments of pure intensity



[Verse 2]

So I’ll try to put ’em down in this here song

And I hope to capture each and every one

Cause in life’s busy moments it’s so easy to forget

This reminder for when it’s all said and done



[Chorus]

Pride is what I feel inside when I look at our son

In the hopes and dreams I have of him and what he will become

My daughter’s smile all the while, melts me to the core

Her independence waivers none, she’ll be future self-assured

The life I’ve made with my strong wife, gives us love beyond compare

And the words that fill this house with joy, give me purpose everywhere



[Bridge]

So hold on to the ones that make your life worth living

And don’t forget to thank the lord above

For it’s in the moments that we share each and every day

That makes us feel we’re truly loved and cared for along the way



And in the worry of the days and nights

Which brings sadness and tears

It’s the love of those dearest to us

That make us feel like we’re really here



[Chorus]

Pride is what I feel inside when I look at our son

In the hopes and dreams I have of him and what he will become

My daughter’s smile all the while, melts me to the core

Her independence waivers none, she’ll be future self-assured

The life I’ve made with my strong wife, gives us love beyond compare

And the words that fill this house with joy, give me purpose everywhere



[Verse 3]

They say the days are long but the years are fast

Well, brother, I can attest to that

And what you do during those long days is entirely up to you

But I won’t be waiting ’round until the sand slips through



[Chorus]

The life I’ve made with my strong wife, gives us love beyond compare

And the words that fill this house with joy, give me purpose everywhere



Yeah the words that fill this house with joy, give me purpose everywhere.
