The Upper Hand Lyrics
I remember when you were born
All the love in the world could not compare
I picked you up in my arms for the first time
And vowed to myself I would take care of you
How did I let you get the upper hand?
It must have been while I wasn’t looking
Now I’m looking up at you
It’s not something I’m used to
We grew apart every year that passed
You and your childhood,
Me and my living to earn
Now I’m lucky to catch a glimpse of you
Guess it’s something every father must learn
Maybe I must…
All the love in the world could not compare
I picked you up in my arms for the first time
And vowed to myself I would take care of you
It must have been while I wasn’t looking
Now I’m looking up at you
It’s not something I’m used to
You and your childhood,
Me and my living to earn
Now I’m lucky to catch a glimpse of you
Guess it’s something every father must learn
