Track Notes – Home Team

Home Team is a deeply personal song about fatherhood, faith, and the quiet, everyday moments that reveal who our children are becoming.

Written from my own lived experience as a dad, this song reflects the relationship I have with my sons in this particular season of life. It captures small, ordinary moments that carry extraordinary meaning: imagination taking shape, resilience forming through trial and play, and joy expressed through movement, creativity, and curiosity. The lyrics are simply an honest reflection of noticing who my children are right now and delighting in the way God has uniquely wired each of them.

At its heart, Home Team is not about perfection, control, or outcomes. It is about presence. It reflects a desire to be attentive, encouraging, and steady, offering reassurance and love without placing expectations on who my children must become. The song does not attempt to define their future, but instead honors the beauty of who they are in this moment.

The phrase “home team” is not about a place or a role, but about relationship. It represents the belief that home is built through consistency, care, and shared love, even as circumstances change. It is an expression of commitment to show up with encouragement, affirmation, and humility, alongside the shared responsibility of parenting with love and respect.

Spiritually, the song is rooted in gratitude. It recognizes children as a gift entrusted by God and reflects a prayerful hope that they would grow with confidence, courage, and a secure sense of belonging. It is written with respect for both parents and with an understanding that nurturing hearts and character is a shared and sacred calling.

Home Team is ultimately a song of covering and encouragement. It is meant to remind children that they are seen, deeply loved, and not alone, and to reflect a posture of trust that God is faithfully at work in their lives, guiding them far beyond what any parent could control or predict.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Late nights, paper hands full of dreams
Marker stains and galaxy scenes
Micah building worlds out of clay and light
Halloween hearts, wired just right
Little feet dancing across the floor
Moonwalk steps yelling one more
Asher moving fast like the speed of sound
Every time he falls he bounces right back now

Pre chorus 1
I see the fire behind your eyes
You don’t even know how far you’ll fly
Every step you take I’m right here yeah
You were never meant to fear

Chorus
We’re the home team
We don’t slow down - Heads up - Feet on the ground
Run fast - Dream loud - look around - Yeah this love don’t make a sound - It moves - moves mountains
We’re the home team
Side by side - stars above us - Lit inside - no matter how far - no matter where you run - I’m with you till the end

Verse 2
Coins in a jar counting real proud
Chores done right head held loud
Asher stacking wins one dime at a time learning early how to shine
Eyes up high sketching bigger scenes
Micah dreaming past what he’s ever seen - every line drawn - every spark he start - that’s the sound of a brave young heart

Pre chorus 2
You don’t need to prove a thing
You already wear the crown my kings
If the world gets heavy sometimes
Remember you’re already mine

Bridge
Micah, keep building what you can’t see and
Asher, keep dancing don’t forget
When the lights go out and the night feels long
Listen close you’re still my son

Outro
We’re the home team - home team -
Side by side - Till the end - home team - home team - home team - I’m with you till the end (repeat)
