The real Route One - First Time Father Lyrics

I was just a restless soul, wanderin' through this life
Never thought I'd settle down, never thought I'd find a wife
But then she came along, with her gentle, loving eyes
And now we're standin' here, with a brand new surprise
'Cause I'm gonna be a daddy, for the very first time
Gonna hold that tiny hand, hear that newborn cry
Gonna teach him how to fish, how to dream and how to pray
Gonna love him every moment, every single day
Saw that ultrasound, heard that little heartbeat strong
It hit me like a freight train, that my wild days were gone
There's a little life dependin' on this man I need to be
And I'm ready for the challenge, it's my new destiny
'Cause I'm gonna be a daddy, for the very first time
Gonna hold that tiny hand, hear that newborn cry
Gonna teach him how to fish, how to dream and how to pray
Gonna love him every moment, every single day
I'll be there for the first steps, for the laughter and the tears
For the midnight feedings, and the monsters and the fears
I'll be their superhero, their shelter in the storm
Gonna keep him safe and sound, keep him loved and warm
'Cause I'm gonna be a daddy, for the very first time
Gonna hold that tiny hand, hear that newborn cry
Gonna teach him how to fish, how to dream and how to pray
Gonna love him every moment, every single day
So here's to the journey, of a lifetime up ahead
With a heart so full of love, and a life so fully fed
Gonna cherish every second, with this blessing from above
'Cause I'm gonna be a daddy, and that's a lifetime of love.
