Young and Brave Enough

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some folks wait for the perfect time But we were young and brave Barely old enough to know the road But we walked it anyway Two kids with a ring and a promise made You shipped out across the sea [Chorus] You've been the strength in every storm The steady hand I hold A father's love, a papa's heart Worth more than any gold Through every season, every year One thing I've always known You're the reason this whole family stands You are our cornerstone [Verse 2] Two weeks home from halfway round the world You held that baby tight Nineteen years old with the weight of it all And you never lost your light Jon, you stepped into the role like you were born to lead Guiding sons and grandbabies with every word they need [Chorus] You've been the strength in every storm The steady hand I hold A father's love, a papa's heart Worth more than any gold Through every season, every year One thing I've always known You're the reason this whole family stands You are our cornerstone [Bridge] When the world was shaking underneath my feet Jon, you held me steady You always held me steady [Verse 3] Now the grandkids gather round Hanging on your every word They see the man I fell in love with In every lesson heard Your family loves you, Jon, and that will never fade Happy birthday to the man who showed us how love's made [Chorus] You've been the strength in every storm The steady hand I hold A father's love, a papa's heart Worth more than any gold Through every season, every year One thing I've always known You're the reason this whole family stands You are our cornerstone [Outro] Happy birthday to my rock, my love Jon, you are our cornerstone
