UP WITH DIEGO” — Forest Frank Inspired
[Intro — rhythmic, upbeat]
Yeah… yeah…
Oh-oh…
Diego…
Let’s go…
⸻
[Verse 1]
I was down but God lifted me up
Every day see His hand in my son
Out in the yard with a ball in the sun
Diego runnin’ — yeah, here he come
Sisters laugh — Valeria, Camila
Amanda right there, love runs deeper
Prayin’ for Noah before he sleeps
Little man with a heart that keeps
Talks with mama, he takes his time
Old soul thinkin’ with a young boy shine
Focused eyes and a steady glow
Yeah… my boy gon’ grow
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
He knows what he wants, what he don’t
Future big everywhere that he goes
Wasn’t luck — yeah, Heaven knows
God’s hand all on this road
⸻
[Chorus — big Forest Frank bounce]
I was down but now I’m up — up — up
Watch my boy, yeah, he rising up
This all God, this ain’t no luck
Every day see the way he loves
Ohhh — Diego, Diego
My light when the days move slow
From our home to wherever you go
God got you — this I know
⸻
[Verse 2]
Math books stacked, mind on lock
Future engineer watch him plot
Won’t back down when the road gets tough
Little man but he built real strong
Carne asada, stories at night
Throw that football under the lights
Talkin’ deep ‘bout joy and pain
Then he back to the game again
Detailed steps, he don’t miss much
Wise young man with the gentle touch
Yeah he’ll tell you when he’s mad
But his heart stays soft like dad
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
From the ground to the treetops high
See big dreams in my boy’s eyes
Every prayer don’t pass him by
God’s been there the whole time
⸻
[Chorus — bigger]
I was down but now I’m up — up — up
Watch my boy, yeah, he rising up
This all God, this ain’t no luck
Every day see the way he loves
Ohhh — Diego, Diego
My light when the days move slow
From Brazil to Mexico
To the road where your dreams will go
⸻
[Bridge — worship lift moment]
Hands high — thank You Lord
For the gift that I can’t afford
Every step that my boy gon’ take
You’re the path that You always make
Yeah — bright fire in his soul
You been writing every goal
And I’m blessed just watchin’ grow…
My Diego…
⸻
[Final Chorus — emotional + anthemic]
I was down but now I’m up — up — up
Got tears watchin’ my boy grow up
This all God, this ain’t no luck
Every hug — man, that’s enough
Ohhh — Diego, Diego
My son, my joy, my hero
Wherever this whole life goes
God got you — this I know
⸻
[Outro — soft, dad moment]
Yeah…
Throw that ball one more time…
My boy Diego…
We gonna miss this…
