Right By You
A Father's Promise: Guiding Through Time
Lyrics
How'd they all get so tall?
Reflecting on how others have grown so tall.
From bein' wrapped in yer mammy's shawl
Wondering about the nurturing influence of mothers.
Feels like yesterday
Expressing the feeling that time has passed quickly.
Feels like yesterday
Reiterating the sentiment that time has passed swiftly.
Our wee ones were but that high
Recalling when the children were very young.
Now they nearly touch the sky
Noting the growth of the children over time.
But they're still our weans
Acknowledging that despite growing up, they are still considered 'weans' (children).
Oh, they're still our weans
Emphasizing the continued connection to the children.
Fourteen years, come and gone
Reflecting on the passage of fourteen years with significant changes.
Winds of change blowin' strong
Highlighting the substantial impact of transformative forces.
I'm trying to do right by you
Expressing the commitment to act in a way that honors someone.
Every night I say a prayer
Mentioning a nightly prayer, possibly seeking guidance.
You look down from way up there
Imagining someone looking down with a sense of pride.
Full of father's pride
Feeling a deep sense of pride as a father.
Full of father's price
Acknowledging the responsibility that comes with being a father.
If yer mammy's by yer side
Suggesting that the presence of the mother is reassuring.
She can tell ya how I've tried
Indicating that the mother can vouch for the efforts made.
Tried to do right by you
Affirming the continuous effort to do what is right.
Tried to do right by you
Reiterating the commitment to doing right by someone.
And even when the cold wind blows
Promising to remain steadfast even in challenging times.
I will stand my ground
Committing to stand firm in the face of adversity.
And every time life picks a fight
Promising to confront challenges head-on.
I'll finish the round
Expressing determination to persevere through difficulties.
I swear that in the darkest night
Swearing to provide guidance and leadership in the darkest times.
I will lead our boys into the light
Committing to lead children toward the light during difficulties.
Till the moment I am layin' right by you
Expressing the intention to be present and supportive until the end.
So they'll grow up doin' right by you
Ensuring that the children will continue to do what is right in the future.
Right by you
Affirming the intention to be right by someone.
Right by you
Repeating the commitment to be right by someone.
