Look Up

I looked up to see her staring a hole right through me,
looking right into the middle of my soul.
It was wisdom that comes from livin' life,
and love, that I saw in my grandma's eyes when she said
"you're blessed to have a family and a home."
Then she said "don't trade your diamonds in for stones".

(chorus)
In the scheme of things it all goes by so fast.
Nothing lasts forever but forever.
She's older by the minute, so while she's still your little baby girl.
Look up now. Don't miss it for the world.

It all seemed so important at the time.
And I'm still not really sure just what it was,
if it was babies cryin' and bills to pay,
or diapers to change after workin' all day.
Maybe it was the fear of the unknown.
Or maybe it was just trying to survive.

(chorus)

(bridge)
Missing all the cues, of a loving family.
"Daddy watch this, daddy guess what, Daddy, do you want to play with me?

Sometimes it felt like it would never end.
To a young man everything seems like forever.

(chorus)
