Background: This song delves into my initial years of fatherhood. I am a father to two children whom I love deeply. However, as the main provider for my family, my job required frequent travel, which significantly reduced the time I could spend with my kids. Despite this, I endeavored to maximize the moments I had with my children, treasuring each one. My foremost objective was to ensure a secure future for them, a commitment that came at the cost of my presence.

Inspiration: I was inspired by the song “Pride” by U2.
