9/6/2025Aria v1
(Verse 1) I wake up before the sun, Pack lunches, find that missing shoe. Pour coffee that goes cold, ā€˜Cause there’s always something else to do. Homework on the table, A pile of laundry by the chair, I’m running late for work, But somebody needs their teddy bear. (Chorus) This is what parents do — We hold it all together with tape and glue. We’re tired but we push on through, ā€˜Cause nobody loves them the way we do. (Verse 2) There’s bills stacked on the counter, A calendar full of games, Doctor’s notes and permission slips, And spelling words to explain. We cheer in the bleachers, We cook when the fridge is bare, We fix what gets broken, And we’re just glad to be there. (Chorus) This is what parents do — We hold it all together with tape and glue. We’re tired but we push on through, ā€˜Cause nobody loves them the way we do. (Bridge) It’s carpool lines and grocery runs, Late-night talks and bad dad puns. It’s saying ā€œnoā€ when it would be easy to say ā€œyes,ā€ It’s finding joy in the middle of the mess. (Verse 3) They won’t remember the dishes, Or how the house was clean, They’ll just remember the moments, When we showed up on their team. So I’ll tuck them in each night, Even when I’m d**d on my feet, ā€˜Cause love is in the little things, And that’s what makes life sweet. (Final Chorus) This is what parents do — We hold it all together with tape and glue. We’re tired but we push on through, ā€˜Cause nobody loves them the way we do.
