the upper hand

ari hest

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 awhile 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

how did i let you get the upper hand?

it must have been awhile i wasn't looking

now i'm looking up at you

it's not something i'm used to

maybe i must

i must

i must

how did i let you get the upper hand?

it must have been awhile i wasn't looking

now i'm looking up at you

it's not something i'm used to

now i'm looking up at you

but if feeling still goes through

maybe i must

i must

i must
