Intro        2x He didn?t ask He didn?t pry He just held the ice that covered my black eye When that girl she broke my heart We just threw that baseball back and forth till dark When I started playing guitar and didn?t have a clue He wanted to protect me but somehow my father knew Chorus That you can cry for   live and die for   You can help them find their wings but you can?t fly for   Cause if they?re not free to fall then they?re not free at all And though you just can?t bear the thought of letting go Pick em up?. dust em off.. and Send Em on Down The Road INTRO AGAIN verse 2 Little kiss on a skinned up knee From playing soccer riding bikes and climbing trees When bad dreams fill their heads I chase the monsters out from underneath their beds   Guess I always knew those days would end But the hardest thing I?ve ever learned has been? Chorus That you can cry for   live and die for   You can help them find their wings but you can?t fly for   Cause if they?re not free to fall then they?re not free at all And though you just can?t bear the thought of letting go Pick em up?. dust em off.. and Send Em on Down The Road Solo                        That you can cry for   live and die for   And even though its gonna break your heart you let em go Pick em up?. dust em off..   You Hold em close?  and you pray to God Send em on down the road INTRO X1 Down the road INTRO PT2

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la réalité des relations parentales, montrant comment un père soutient son enfant à travers les épreuves de la vie. Il parle de moments de douceur, comme être là pour soigner les blessures physiques et émotionnelles, mais aussi de l'importance de laisser ses enfants grandir et prendre leur envol. Le message central est que même si c'est difficile de les laisser partir, il est essentiel de les encourager à être libres, tout en restant proche d'eux avec amour et prière. C'est un véritable témoignage de dévouement et de lâcher-prise, un équilibre difficile à trouver dans l'amour parental.
