Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wasn’t there for your first breath
Didn’t hear that tiny cry
Didn’t see those shaking fingers
Reach up for the sky
I wasn’t there for your first step
Didn’t catch you when you fell
I just know the way you’re walking now
Says you learned it well
[Chorus]
You might not be my blood
But you are my daughter
Written on my heart
Deeper than the water
I can’t change the days I missed
But from here I swear
For every road that’s still to come
I will be there
[Verse 2]
I wasn’t there that first school day
Tiny backpack
Nervous grin
Didn’t tie those brand new laces
Didn’t cheer you walking in
But I’m here for every story
Every tear and every win
Every late-night “Are you busy?”
You can always call again
[Chorus]
You might not be my blood
But you are my daughter
Written on my heart
Deeper than the water
I can’t change the days I missed
But from here I swear
For every road that’s still to come
I will be there
[Bridge]
For broken hearts and busted plans (hey)
For shaky starts and second chance
For every “Dad
I’m not so sure”
I’ll be standing by your door
[Chorus]
You might not be my blood
But you are my daughter
Written on my heart
Deeper than the water
I can’t change the days I missed
But from here I swear
For every breath that follows yours
I will be there (I will be there)

Style
Warm acoustic ballad with male vocals, intimate fingerpicked guitar and soft piano pads. First verse hushed and close-mic, then a gentle lift into the chorus with subtle shaker and low bass. Second verse adds light harmonies; final chorus blooms with stacked vocals and a held last line that fades on a lingering guitar chord.

I wasn’t there for your first breath. I wasn’t there for your first step. I wasn’t there for your first day of school. You might not be my blood, but you are my daughter. I will be there
