[Intro]
Love you, Dad, more than words can say,
You showed me the light, you paved my way.
[Verse 1]
He wore his hands like a badge of pride,
Calloused and strong, they’d never hide.
Built a life with sweat and grit,
A quiet man who never quit.
His boots left tracks I can’t fill,
But Lord, I’m trying, and I always will.
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was half the man my daddy was,
Steady as the oak, soft as the morning dust.
He carried the weight of the world with grace,
Kindness and strength etched on his face.
If I could be just half the man my daddy was.
[Verse 2]
He’d rise before the sun, no complaints, no fuss,
Fixing fences, fighting rust.
With a voice like gravel, a heart like gold,
His love was quiet, but it never got old.
Taught me to stand when the storms roll through,
But Dad, I still lean on the strength of you.
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was half the man my daddy was,
Steady as the oak, soft as the morning dust.
He carried the weight of the world with grace,
Kindness and strength etched on his face.
If I could be just half the man my daddy was.
[Bridge]
I hear him in the wind, feel him in the rain,
His lessons in my blood, his love in my veins.
Every time I stumble, I hear him say,
“Son, it’s alright, just find your way.”
