JJ_StudioOne Lifetime Isn't Enough lyrics
I see the silver threaded in your hair A quiet map of every single prayer You built my world with steady calloused hands And never asked for thanks or future plans You gave your strength and asked for none in kind A gentle shelter for a younger mind One lifetime isn't enough to pay you back For every star you placed upon my track So let the great wheel turn let the cycle run Next time around I'll be the father you'll be the son I still remember scraped up knees and fear Your voice the only comfort I could hear You were the giant whose shoulders I could climb To see a world that wasn't bound by time Now I can see the weight you carried then And wish that I could let your youth begin again One lifetime isn't enough to pay you back For every star you placed upon my track So let the great wheel turn let the cycle run Next time around I'll be the father you'll be the son It's more than just a debt I feel inside It's a sacred promise turning with the tide To give you back the safety give you back the grace And see my own reflection in your small and trusting face I will be your guide! One lifetime isn't enough to pay you back For every star you placed upon my track So let the great wheel turn let the cycle run Next time around I'll be the father you'll be the son
