Cody Hammond

Thirty-two years ago, I held you tight

Didn't know my little boy would be my guiding light

You've grown up wise, with a laugh to ease the pain

Standing guard for your mama through the pouring rain

You're fiercely protective, so steady and true

I thank the good Lord every day for you

Oh, Cody Hammond, I'm so proud of who you are

You brought me out of the darkness, you're my steady star

When the heavy times hit and the shadows cast

Just remember, son, this too shall pass

You are my world, through the good and the bad

I love you, Cody, for the bond we've always had

I know you’ve been through hell and back again

Faced your downfalls, fought the bitter wind

But you dusted off your boots and you stood back up

Pouring all your heart into your family's cup

Seeing how you love your kids, gentle and kind

Brings a peaceful feeling to this mama's mind

Oh, Cody Hammond, I'm so proud of who you are

You brought me out of the darkness, you're my steady star

When the heavy times hit and the shadows cast

Just remember, son, this too shall pass

You are my world, through the good and the bad

I love you, Cody, for the bond we've always had

There were days I couldn't even see the dawn

But you were the rock that I leaned upon

You brought me out of the darkness when the nights were black

I love you for that, and I've got your back

Oh, Cody Hammond, I'm so proud of who you are

You brought me out of the darkness, you're my steady star

When the heavy times hit and the shadows cast

Just remember, son, this too shall pass

You are my world, through the good and the bad

I love you, Cody, for the bond we've always had
