[Intro – Delicate, flowing anime piano] [Opening – Soft, melodic male vocals] Somewhere far away, There's a little boy who's growing, With no father in sight. Somewhere far away, There's a mother with no one To hold her tight. And somewhere, right here, Sits a father, all alone, Beneath the same wide sky. [Piano Interlude – Bittersweet melody] [Verse 1 – Tender, affectionate singing] Son, when our paths cross again one day, This time I'll do it right. We'll play for hours, sing silly songs, Till our voices finally give out. I'll answer every question, Anything you wonder about. No matter how big or small it seems, We'll sit and figure it out. [Warm, sustained notes] I'll make sure you feel heard, I'll make sure you feel seen, The same way that my mother Always made me feel. [Chorus – Gently rising, fully sung] And these are the things I think about, When the world goes quiet. All the things I miss, All the things I hope to find. The moments that I dream about, The memories left behind. And all the love I wish I could give, Beneath this endless sky. [Piano Interlude – Flowing, expressive] [Verse 2 – Warm, loving vocals] Now I've got a little job for you, Spencer, Would you hold your Mama tight? Make her laugh, make her smile, Give her a hug every once in a while. You've got your mother's loving heart, You've got this silly brain of mine. And somewhere deep inside of you, I hope my inner child survives. [Light, hopeful singing] I want you to be little, For as long as you can be. To laugh and play and wonder, To be everything you're meant to be. And when I call you the man of the house, Don't think that you have to grow. You don't have to carry our worries, You're still our little boy. [Chorus – Fuller piano, soaring melody] And these are the things I think about, When the world goes quiet. All the things I miss, All the things I hope to find. The moments that I dream about, The memories left behind. And all the love I wish I could give... [Soft, sustained melodic rise] On this starry night. [Piano Interlude – Emotional anime-style passage] [Bridge – Fragile, tender singing] Son, there's something I want you to know, Something I hope you'll understand. You can stay a child inside forever, Even when you become a man. There'll be times to laugh and play, And times to do what's right. But you don't have to grow up early, You don't have to carry our lives. [Voice warms, melody lifts] And no matter how hard things get, Remember we're both trying our best. Your Mama loves you more than words, And your Daddy loves you no less. All you have to do is be yourself, That's all we'll ever need. Just smile, and laugh, and give us hugs, And let your heart stay free. [Final Verse – Gentle, fully sung, no speaking] And when she looks like she doesn't need one, Give her a hug anyway. Because sometimes the ones who need it most Are the ones who never say. And when it comes to hugs from you, There's something you should know. There'll never be enough of them, No matter how old you grow. [Soft sustained notes] So when you wrap your arms around her, Just hold her nice and tight. And don't let go until she does, And tell her everything's alright. [Outro – Quiet descending sung melody] Somewhere far away, There's a little boy who's growing, And I wonder who he'll be. Somewhere far away, There's a mother holding someone Who means the world to me. [Even softer, but still sung] And somewhere, right here, There's a father thinking of them both... Trying to get through... [Final line – Long, tender sung note] Another starry night. [Instrumental Outro – Lonely piano resolves and fades]
