but I don't know the name of it or the artist..just this guy,singing about watching his son...and hoping he grows up into a godly man or something like that. It's a year old or so. If anyone can help..I'd appreciate it

Could it possibly be "Creed" ...Arms wide open?

Hello:
I am reading a post dated November 14, 2003. A song titled "Watching Scotty Grow" has been recorded by Mac Davis and Bobby Goldsboro.

One of them wrote it about the other's son, I think.
