On The Day You Came To Be
A Father's Love Unveiled: Embracing Life's Weight
Lyrics
On the day you came to be
Reflecting on the day of the child's birth
I smiled at you, you looked at me
Expressing joy and connection upon seeing the newborn
And how my heart began to break
Feeling emotional and vulnerable as a parent
And it's still held beneath the weight
Bearing the ongoing emotional weight of parenthood
And the sight of your eyes so wide
Being captivated by the innocence in the child's eyes
I would die to keep you alive
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice for the child's well-being
My little baby, my little baby, my tiny boy
Endearing terms for the newborn
My little baby, my little baby, my tiny boy
Repetition for emphasis on the preciousness of the child
I'm your father and you're my son
Reaffirming the father-son relationship
I'm your father and you're my son
-I'm your father and you're my son
-You're the one
Acknowledging the child as special and significant
Today I hold your gentle hand
Describing a moment of tenderness between parent and child
In twenty years you'll be a man
Looking ahead to the child's future adulthood
And as my eyes begin to close
Contemplating life's transience and the inevitability of aging
You might have children of your own
Anticipating the child's own journey into parenthood
And you'll know how it feels inside to say
Expressing the depth of parental love and willingness to protect
I would die to keep you alive
Reiterating the parent's willingness to sacrifice for the child
My little baby, my little baby, my tiny boy
Repetition for emphasis on the child's significance
Oh, my little baby, my little baby, my tiny boy
-I'm your father and you're my son
Affirming the father-son bond
I'm your father and you're my son
-I'm your father and you're my son
-You're the one
Emphasizing the child's uniqueness and importance
La la la la la da da
Melodic expressions without specific lyrical content
La la la ooh ooh
-Oh, I'm your father and you're my son
-I'm your father and you're my son
-I'm your father and you're my son
-You're the one
Reiterating the child's special role in the parent's life
