Song Notes
You know, I just wanted to kind of show going through the years and watching your sons become young men and sort of the wisdom that they've collected is a beautiful thing. And I didn't know how to be a parent when I started to, so I had to really, like, learn on the job. And I needed to grow up a lot. And I made mistakes. You know, I think there's definitely - I try to convey that in the song."

Lyrics
You're a lighthouse in a storm
From the day that you were born
A promise
Father to a son
Your mother said it best
We will be put to a test
A promise
Father to a son
Is there anything I can do
A wisdom where your heart is heading to
A place you want more than I can give
Father to a son
Well I made a few mistakes
But I'll never break your heart
A promise
Father to a son
I never knew a love
Could be scarier than anger
A promise
Father to a son
Is there anything I can do
A wisdom where your heart is heading to
A place you want more than I can give
Father to a son
Is there anything I can do
A wisdom where your heart is heading to
A place you want more than I can give
Father to a son
Father to a son
