Climb up high and see the town,
From my shoulders you won’t drown.
Little legs and fearless grin,
I’ll lift you up and tuck you in.
On daddy’s shoulders, you touch the sky,
You learn to dream, to laugh, to fly.
When life gets heavy, when nights feel long,
I’ll be the place you belong.
Years will shape you, roads will bend,
But always know I’m near to lend.
A crooked thumb, a crooked smile,
I’ll carry you for just a while.
One day you’ll stand on your own two feet,
But in my heart you’re still that heartbeat.
When I’m far or out of sight,
Remember shoulders held you tight.
Pass it on when it’s your turn,
Lift someone up, let love return.
