[Verse 1]
If my kids ask why
I couldn't just sit still,
Why I kept chasing something
over every hill,
Why I dreamed so damn big
when we already had enough—
Tell 'em I wasn't chasing money.
I was chasing something they could trust.

[Chorus]
If my kids ask why,
Tell 'em I was thinking about them.
Every chance I took,
every time I started again.

I wanted them to have a home
when the whole world felt unsure.
Something nobody could take away,
something that was theirs.

If my kids ask why I kept going—

Tell 'em they were why.

[Verse 2]
I wanted them to know
life ain't something you just survive.
You can build it with your own two hands.
You can change it while you're alive.

I wanted them to see their daddy
fall down and get back up,
Not because I had all the answers—
But because quitting would've taught them
the wrong one.

[Chorus]
If my kids ask why,
Tell 'em I was thinking about them.
Every late night, every crazy dream,
every time I started again.

I wanted them to have some ground
beneath their feet when I was gone.
And know that wherever life may take them,
they'll always have a home.

[Bridge]
And maybe one day they'll understand—

I wasn't trying to give them
an easy life.

I was trying to give them
a place to stand
while they built their own.

[Final Chorus]
So if my kids ask why
I wouldn't leave that dream alone,
Why I kept creating,
why I kept building something of our own—

Tell 'em everything I was reaching for
was never just for me.

I was trying to leave them something
bigger than a memory.

And if my kids ever ask
what kept me going all that time...

Just smile.

And tell 'em—
you did.
