The Dream Came Early

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of bravery In the man who shows up every day When the road bends in ways you can't see And love asks more than you planned to pay [Chorus] Oh, you stepped right in, didn't miss a beat Heart wide open, steady on your feet A daddy's love, pure and true Everything that boy needs, he's got in you [Verse 2] I remember little hands and trains Running bases in the summer rain A boy who dreamed of holding his own one day Now that dream's here, and it calls your name [Chorus] Oh, you stepped right in, didn't miss a beat Heart wide open, steady on your feet A daddy's love, pure and true Everything that boy needs, he's got in you [Bridge] Tyler, son, you make us proud Through every storm, you stood tall and loud Thank you for the gift of this brand new life Little Carter David, your shining light [Verse 3] The dream came sooner than you knew But God knew Carter needed you And the strength inside has always been there In the love you give, in the way you care [Chorus] Oh, you stepped right in, didn't miss a beat Heart wide open, steady on your feet A daddy's love, pure and true Everything that boy needs, he's got in you [Outro] Happy Father's Day, Tyler, our son A brand new chapter has begun Carter's lucky, and so are we For the daddy and the man you've grown to be
