Shoulders
by Wilburn & Wilburn

Album: Shoulders

Everybody's got a hero
And I called mine grandpa
He never had a lot to show
For years of working hard
I heard he had a lot of plans
He never got to carry out
But I believe there's a part of him
Alive in me now

What if some dreams
Aren't made to come true
'Til long after the dreamer's gone
What if sometimes
We're simply meant to be shoulders
For someone else to stand on

There are doors that some will open
They never will go through
But someone else will journey far
Walking in their shoes
So many miles I've traveled
By a light that's handed down
From the ones who've gone before me
I hope I've made them proud

What if some dreams
Aren't made to come true
'Til long after the dreamer's gone
What if sometimes
We're simply meant to be shoulders
For someone else to stand on

Maybe all the dead-end roads in my life
Are only stepping stones for my child

What if some dreams
Aren't made to come true
'Til long after the dreamer's gone
What if sometimes
We're simply meant to be shoulders
For someone else to stand on

Everybody's got a hero
And I called mine grandpa
