Lyrics

So now you're getting older
You are growing up
Got something to tell you
I'm talking to you now father to son
I know that you're gonna be big and strong
You know I'm proud of you
You always can finish what you've begun

Such a new world
Is waiting for you
I know you can do it
What ever you want
You will find a way, 'cause

Soon you'll be a big man
Still you can't believe it
(You'll make it somehow)
I'll be here, never fear
If you should need it
(Help you through now)
Ever since people began we all go through stages
(Everything changes)
I know you'll make it okay 'cause you're a fighter
You'll be a man

Song Production Information

Jimmy Weckl

In the old days, there used to be a ham commercial with the catchphrase "Grow up!".
The very image of this song is a message from a father to his son.
I would be very happy if you could feel a little healing in this day and age when many problems are so prevalent.
The clips were done with a fluffy sensibility, and Thomas' affectionate singing helped to further enhance the image of the song. Thanks!

Heya! Gai here.
This time I had the pleasure of working with Jimmy. I am thrilled.
The image of the clip is "a father watching over his child's growth", and i was asked to use pastel tones to express the kindness of a large, warm father.
I also thought about various scenes, recalling my childhood long, long ago.

...hmmm, I didn't recall much.
My parents say that I was so restless that every time we went out to eat I got angry and cried.... No good!
I had such a childhood, and kind seniors lent me their children's photo albums as reference materials.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, and the smile of an angel! I was really healed.
This time, my son has short hair to emphasize naughtiness.
In my opinion, freckles were a must! Hmph.
Please take care of my son, who was born out of children's photo albums and my poor imagination (parental love).
