(Intro)
Yeah…
This one for the dads that nobody posts about…
No flowers on the timeline…
No millions of people saying your name…
But you still gave everything you had.
(Verse 1)
I remember my pops, yeah he walked with pride,
Had a little bit of pain but he kept it inside,
Always helping everybody when they needed a hand,
But when he needed somebody, nobody had a plan.
He was the type to give his last dollar away,
Put food on the table, make sure we were okay,
Never asked for applause, never begged for a thank,
Just a tired old soul with a heart full of faith.
Now Father’s Day comes and the world celebrates,
Pictures of perfect dads with expensive gifts on plates,
But what about the fathers that faded away?
The ones who built homes but got forgotten someday?
(Hook)
This for the dads in the shadows,
The ones who carried heavy battles,
The ones who smiled through the pain,
While they were drowning in their own rain.
Raise a glass for the fathers gone,
The ones who gave love but got no song,
You might not see their names in lights,
But they were somebody’s hero every night.
(Verse 2)
My dad wasn’t perfect, nobody ever is,
Had scars on his heart from the life that he lived,
But he showed me strength wasn’t always being tough,
Sometimes strength was staying when life got rough.
He taught me respect, taught me how to stand,
How to be a man and take care of my fam,
But time moves fast and people move on,
And sometimes the greatest get treated like they’re gone.
It hurts seeing good people disappear,
The ones who brought laughter when the room had tears,
Everybody loves you when you’re giving them something,
But who checks on you when your phone stops buzzing?
(Outro)
So happy Father’s Day to the forgotten ones,
The quiet kings, the underappreciated sons,
The dads who never needed a crown or a name,
Because love was the only thing they ever claimed.
If my father’s voice could reach through the sky,
I’d say, “I saw your sacrifices, I saw how you tried.”
You might be gone, but your story lives on…
Because every good thing you gave me…
Is proof you were never really gone.
