Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You taught my hands to tie the rope
And find a foothold on the stone
When winter pressed against the door
You showed me what a heart is for
[Pre-Chorus]
With every mile and every trial
You met my fear with that old smile
[Chorus]
Raise a cup for my father tonight
Steady as oak, fierce and kind
You gave me courage, you gave me care
A warmer fire follows me everywhere
Hey-oh, let the whole hall sing
Hey-oh, hear the rafters ring
For the man who helped me stand
My first true hero, my father, my friend
[Verse 2]
You knew the names of every tool
You made hard work look almost cool
You fixed the gate, you mended dreams
You kept your promise by any means
[Pre-Chorus]
And when my north was hard to find
Your honest words became my guide
[Chorus]
Raise a cup for my father tonight
Steady as oak, fierce and kind
You gave me courage, you gave me care
A warmer fire follows me everywhere
Hey-oh, let the whole hall sing
Hey-oh, hear the rafters ring
For the man who helped me stand
My first true hero, my father, my friend
[Bridge]
If I sail beyond the farthest shore
Your lessons travel with my oar
If the road turns wild and long
I’ll carry your name inside my song
[Final Chorus]
Raise a cup for my father tonight
Steady as oak, fierce and kind
You gave me courage, you gave me care
A warmer fire follows me everywhere
Hey-oh, let the whole hall sing
Hey-oh, hear the rafters ring
For the man who helped me stand
My first true hero, my father, my friend
My first true hero, my father, my friend
[Outro]
Hey-oh, father and friend
Hey-oh, our thanks never end

Upbeat Viking folk-rock anthem with pounding hand drums, frame drums, stomping group percussion, bright acoustic strings, bold fiddle, wooden flute, deep male lead vocal, and hearty communal gang vocals. Build from a warm acoustic verse into a huge singalong chorus, add horn-like vocal calls and a triumphant final lift. Keep the production clear, energetic, organic, and celebratory, with strong rhythmic momentum and a heartfelt family-friendly tone.
