A song about being and uncle, or a parent... from a distance.

lyrics

Dear Child
- R. Johnson

Dear child
I've watched you walk from miles away
Growing up through pictures
Captured smiles on scrolling screens
Don't think for a second you ain't been on my mind
And I can see without me you're doing just fine
I may sit in the shadows to watch you chase your dreams
But you mean everything

I play it cool, and it's tough love when you're around me
Wasn't my plan, but you got love from me
Just say the word and I'll be beside you
Or I can walk 10 steps behind you
Whatever way it has to be
As I sit in the shadows it's just so hard to believe
How you mean everything

Solo

Dear child
You make me better everyday
Such a brave example
The way you charge the way you lead
Twisted up in the irony of the world's cruel design
My heart grows fonder as we're losing time
From where I sit in the shadows I wouldn't change a thing
Cause you mean everything
