LYRICS:
HE AIN’T GOT MY SMILE THAT DON’T BOTHER ME A BIT
HE’S GOT SOMEBODY ELSE’S EYES I’M SEEING MYSELF IN
I’M HOLDING ON TO EVERY MOMENT GOD KNOWS I’VE MISSED A FEW
THE DAY WE MET I KNEW I HAD SOME CATCHING UP TO DO
HE AIN’T MY BLOOD AIN’T GOT MY NAME
BUT IF HE DID, I’D FEEL THE SAME
I WASN’T THERE FOR HIS FIRST STEPS
BUT I AIN’T MISSED A BALL GAME YET
AND THAT AIN’T EVER GONNA CHANGE
I COULD NEVER WALK AWAY
YEAH, HE’S MY SON AND THAT’S MY CHOICE
HE AIN’T MY BLOOD BUT HE’S MY, HE’S MY BOY
IT HIT ME LIKE A TRAIN, THE FIRST TIME HE CALLED ME DAD
IN A THREE STICK FIGURE CRAYON PICTURE WITH ALL OF US HOLDING HANDS
HIS MAMA SAID I UNDERSTAND IF IT’S TOO SOON FOR THIS
I DIDN’T LET HER FINISH I TOOK IT TO THE KITCHEN AND I STUCK IT ON THE FRIDGE
HE AIN’T MY BLOOD AIN’T GOT MY NAME
BUT IF HE DID, I’D FEEL THE SAME
I WASN’T THERE FOR HIS FIRST STEPS
BUT I AIN’T MISSED A BALL GAME YET
AND THAT AIN’T EVER GONNA CHANGE
I COULD NEVER WALK AWAY
YEAH, HE’S MY SON AND THAT’S MY CHOICE
HE AIN’T MY BLOOD BUT HE’S MY, HE’S MY BOY
HE’S SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS
HE’S HEY CAN I SLEEP IN YOUR ROOM
HE’S BIGGER THAN THE PLANS I HAD
HE’S MAKING ME A BETTER MAN
HE AIN’T MY BLOOD AIN’T GOT MY NAME
BUT IF HE DID, I’D FEEL THE SAME
I WASN’T THERE FOR HIS FIRST STEPS
BUT I AIN’T MISSED A BALL GAME YET
AND THAT AIN’T EVER GONNA CHANGE
I COULD NEVER WALK AWAY
YEAH, HE’S MY SON AND THAT’S MY CHOICE
HE AIN’T MY BLOOD BUT HE’S MY, HE’S MY BOY
YEAH HE’S MY, HE’S MY BOY

There is no such thing as a step dad...theres fathers and theres daddy's....any guy can be a father but only a man can be a daddy....be the best daddy you can be

[@codyduggins2123]

I turned 27 in june and my father died a year ago in May. We weren't very close and didn't have the relationship I would of liked to of had. It hurts me a lot knowing amends can never be made but I know that when I become a father I'll be extremely loving and supportive and not repeat the same mistakes he did. Regardless of if the child is biologically mine or not. Which is a big change because in the past I was against raising someone else's kid because I want my own. But now i realize that's selfish and there's lots of fatherless kids that need love and guidance.

[@StrifeGuy]

After listening to this 3 times in a row and crying all the way through it I sent this video to my stepfather. He has raised me since I was 3 and I am now 30. Thank you so much for making this song.

Being a step parent is one of the most underappreciated jobs in the world. Being bound by love, and not blood is truly a gift from God. To all the step mom's and dads out there....thank you.

[@LivermoreTelCo]

It’s so hard to balance being a stepdad when the real dad is “kinda” around. I met my boy when he was 12, and I knew he’d never call me Dad. I always introduce him as “my son” and I’ve always felt the best I can do is be a good role model, teach him how to treat his mom, treat other women, treat other people the right way. He’s on his way to being his own kind of man, not exactly like me, but a solid person who is equipped to make his way in the world. I’m not sure if the song or the other comments made me cry more.

[@goblinmoreno5715]

Thank you for For that As a stepparent for two boys I can tell you it gets difficult sometimes a little hard but you have to keep pushing through because the kids that you are raising love you And they know no blood or last name they just know the person that’s there raising them. Richard and Isaac I love you boys with all my heart You pulled out of the darkness and into the light, You make me want to be a better person for you guys you truly are my life

[@kristacall5718]

My stepson landed in my world at 4 years old. He is 21 now. He’s as much a part of me as my own 14 yr old. He has my birthday flower tattooed on his arm right beside his moms. My mom knew from the first time she met him that he would be in our lives from then on. Everyone’s hearts grew around my stepson.

[@joshuasousa181]

Makes me cry every time I listen to it. My dad wasn’t my biological father, but he taught me everything about life and was a phenomenal man to my mother. He saved our family and taught us that we deserve to be loved. He was my hero. I miss him every single day. RIP Dad. I hope you know how much you meant to me, I love you.

I relate to this in two ways. One from the perspective of the child, as my nephew didn’t have his dad in his life, but his mom married a stand up guy that has raised him as his own. A true Dad. The second from the perspective of the Dad, as I raised one of my daughters for 11 years before finding out I wasn’t the parental parent. I will never not see her as my daughter. The role of a parent isn’t just blood, it’s a role of choice, responsibility and sacrifice.

As a father and a dad that stepped up I have mad respect for you Brandon

[@ianthecatholictexan7612]

@googleisorwellian no one is more pro family than me, but I strongly disagree. No child should be brought into this world outside the confines of marriage, but if a woman changes her lifestyle and repents of her sins, then she will know that her child needs a father, and if the real father isn’t willing to step up, someone else should. This is equally if not more true for mothers who make the right decision and choose life in situations of rape and incest.

Then about a year later I started dating a man now my husband and he has a beautiful daughter named Nevaeh. Unfortunately her biologic mom was not in the picture (long story). A year into dating he introduced us to eachother and I instantly fell in love. God gave me this beautiful blonde haired brown eyed little girl and he gave her me! This was almost 14 yrs ago and I am truly blessed to be able to say I am a very proud mama and hearing this song today just brought back that first day of meeting my daughter!❤

There are now 3 men(my dad to my sister, my brother in law to my nieces, and now me to my women’s boy) in my family who’s stepped up to be fathers to children that’s not biologically ours.

The bible compares our life to a vapor that quickly disappears, or a plant that is here today and gone tomorrow. Do you think about what happens after you are gone? Where is your soul going? Have you heard of a place called heaven and a place called hell? Today I want to urge you to surrender your life to God. Salvation is gifted to us from God out of pure love. All we need to do is believe and follow Jesus Christ. This scripture sums it up. For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Turn your life over to Christ today, tomorrow may be too late. If you have any comments of questions feel free to ask me.
