Flashlight Charm Songtext
von Tim

The smell of oil
Toolbox clanks
Six years old
Banging on tanks
Gently told me
Don′t do that
On a bucket
Is where I sat

I remember
I was young
Being there


While the motor hummed
Had the tools
A helping hand
Holding the flashlight
For my old man
Who I am
I learned from him
Holding the flashlight
The lessons within

The taller I grew
The more he let me do
Didn't feel like
I had something to prove
Through the mistakes
He was never loud
A simple nod
I made him proud

I remember
I was young
Being there


While the motor hummed
Had the tools
A helping hand
Holding the flashlight
For my old man
Who I am
I learned from him
Holding the flashlight
The lessons within

Still using the wrench
But moving slower
Always learning from him
That part′s never over
When it's time to hang up the belt
I'll be ready
My turn to teach
Like you slow and steady

I remember
I was young
Being there

While the motor hummed
Had the tools
A helping hand
Holding the flashlight
For my old man
Who I am
I learned from him
Holding the flashlight
The lessons within
