Letra
I used to hear 'em every mornin'
Before the sun even came up
He would pack up his lunch, kiss my mother goodbye
And leave in that old pickup truck
And I watched him through his struggles
And I learned that you give it your best
He never got down, he just looked around
He said, «There are so many with so much less»
I was watching
I was a young and impressionable kid
And I was watching
See, I was watching everything that he did
And I watched him wrestle with his anger
With the frustrations that every man feels
And when I was eighteen, he was all that stood between
A life without meaning and a purpose to fulfill
And he was watching
I was a teen and at war with myself
He was watching
See, he was there every time that I failed
And I watched him standing by my mother
The family’s foundation in stone
And I watched him walking with his brothers
The day that they carried my grandfather home
And I was watching
Still, every day I’m amazed by the man
And I was watching
Filling those shoes the best that I can
And I was watching
I was a young and impressionable kid
I was watching
See, I was watching everything that he did
I was watching
I was watching
Tradução da letra
Costumava ouvi - los todas as manhãs
Antes mesmo do sol nascer
Ele arrumava o almoço, dava um beijo de despedida à minha mãe.
E deixa aquela carrinha velha.
E eu observei-o através das suas lutas.
E aprendi que dás o teu melhor
Ele nunca desceu, ele só olhou em volta
Ele disse: "Há tantos com muito menos»
Eu estava a ver.
Eu era uma criança jovem e impressionável.
E eu estava a ver
Eu estava a ver tudo o que ele fazia.
E vi-o lutar com a sua raiva
Com as frustrações que cada homem sente
E quando eu tinha 18 anos, ele era tudo o que estava entre
Uma vida sem sentido e um propósito a cumprir
E ele estava a ver
Eu era adolescente e estava em guerra comigo mesmo.
Ele estava a ver.
Ele estava lá sempre que eu falhava.
E vi-o ao lado da minha mãe.
A fundação da família em pedra
E vi-o a andar com os irmãos.
O dia em que levaram o meu avô para casa
E eu estava a ver
Ainda assim, todos os dias estou espantado com o homem
E eu estava a ver
Calçar esses sapatos o melhor que posso
E eu estava a ver
Eu era uma criança jovem e impressionável.
Eu estava a ver.
Eu estava a ver tudo o que ele fazia.
Eu estava a ver.
Eu estava a ver.
