Song Lyrics

Sometimes I run through the woods with my pellet gun
Pretend I am fighting
With the boys on Juno beach
With some pine cone grenades in my red flyer wagon
And I lie awake dreaming someday I might be just like the man
With the camouflage maple leaf on his sleeve
Yeah I'd be just like you dad

They tell me I look just like you
They say I've got your mischievous smile
They tell me someday I'll make make sense of this
Each year I grow, each passing mile
They say son you walk alone now
But they don't see what I see
I've got the footprints of a giant stretching out in front of me

There will be lonely days
Days I shut out the world and just come undone
But I'll try my best to live life like you did
My days out in the sun
I'll learn about you from your best friends
Laugh at the crazy things you did
And I'll walk in your steps with my little feet until someday they fit
I hope someday they fit

They tell me I look just like you
They say I've got your mischievous smile
They tell me someday I'll make make sense of this
Each year I grow, each passing mile
And I hear that boy he is lost now
But they don't see what I see
I've got the footprints of a giant stretching out in front of me

And the flag flies low, 21 guns smoke
And by thousands they say goodbye
And the guard salutes with the snap of their boots
To the hero neath the red and white

There will be lonely days
Days I shut out the world and just come undone
But I'll try my best to live life like you did
And fill my years with sun
And someday when you're out walkin'
You'll hear a voice from behind you
Sayin wait up dad
And you're goin' a little too fast and I'll run up to you

In the footprints of a giant
