Dad

Something I Look Up To Now

When I was young, you were magic in my eyes

Every laugh, every story lit up the skies

But time has a way of peeling back the truth

And I saw things I never thought I’d see in you

Some days felt broken, some words fell hard

Things that should’ve been safe, left a mark on my heart

But hearts can change, and grace runs deep

And the road you chose was steep

Now you’re something I look up to, it’s kinda scary

The man you’ve become, strong and extraordinary

You followed your father’s shoes, turned your life around

Found the gospel, and let the lost be found

Church bells ringing in your soul so loud

Now you're something I look up to now

You took each step, left the shadows behind

With faith in your heart and peace on your mind

Your weight, your soul, both changed with time

And I’m proud of the mountain you chose to climb

You hold my children, and I see the light

A second chance, shining so bright

And I cherish every smile they share with you

It’s healing something I never knew

Yeah, you're something I look up to, it’s kinda scary

The man you’ve become, strong and extraordinary

You followed your father’s shoes, turned your life around

Found the gospel, and let the lost be found

Church bells ringing in your soul so loud

Now you're something I look up to now

(Bridge)

I never thought I’d say these words

But watching you now, my heart is stirred

From pain to praise, from doubt to grace

You showed me it’s never too late

(Final Chorus)

Now you’re something I look up to, it's almost holy

From the boy I knew to the man before me

You followed your father's shoes, you found your ground

With the gospel’s love, you turned it all around

And every step you take still makes me proud

You’re something I look up to now

Yeah…

You’re something I look up to now.
