May you grow up to be the man you should be
May your dreams and your wishes come true
May you finally find what you’ve expected to see
Most of all, may you always be you

May you grow up and find when you look behind
You’ve learned to love and you’ve learned to forgive
And I hope that I’ve taught you to always be kind
Most of all: that I’ve taught you to live

I can’t hold the storms
Nor stop the rain that falls
There’s a promise in our hearts
A voice that calls
I will carry the flood
Back into the sea
And pray that you’ll hold the Hand
That always reached out to me
Along the road through the darkness
To a home never seen
A home never seen

May I grow old to be the man who will see
All your dreams and your wishes come true
For these sacred walls are not built by me
But I’ll pray they’ll be raised by you

I can’t hold the storms
Nor stop the rain that falls
There’s a promise in our hearts
A voice that calls
I will carry the flood
Back into the sea
And pray that you’ll hold the Hand
That always reached out to me
Along the road through the darkness
To a home never seen
A home never seen
