[Verse]
He's sittin' in his old chair silent and still
The clock ticks louder it bends to his will
I see his hands trembling like leaves in the breeze
The man who once held mountains now fights to seize
[Verse 2]
His laughter fades like a ghost in the hall
The stories he told now whispers so small
I want to carry him like he carried me
But time’s a thief that won't set him free
[Chorus]
Oh Father I see you slipping away
But I’ll hold your shadow come what may
Through anger through tears through the pain I'll pray
To be grateful for you every single day
[Bridge]
Your wisdom your strength they still linger here
In every word every lesson every tear
I’m angry at the world but I won’t let it show
I’ll love you through the storm no matter how slow
[Verse 3]
His eyes hold memories of a life once bright
Now they flicker like candles in the deep of night
I’ll be his anchor when he’s lost at sea
A compass of love guiding endlessly
[Chorus]
Oh Father I see you slipping away
But I’ll hold your shadow come what may
Through anger through tears through the pain I'll pray
To be grateful for you every single day
