Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was small in your shadow
watching your hands at work
grease on your knuckles
sleep in your eyes
You fixed the broken door
you carried the heavy box
I thought you were made of stone
I never said why
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see it clear
the years you wore
all the things you gave
without asking for more
[Chorus]
Dad, you are loved
Dad, you are seen
I’m so proud of you
more than I’ve said
Dad, you are loved
Dad, you are my home
Take these words tonight
and let them stay
[Verse 2]
I heard your quiet laugh
from the other room
like a light on water
through a cracked front window
You taught me how to stand
by standing there first
steady in the hard days
soft when it hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see it clear
the weight you held
I was too young then
to know it well
[Chorus]
Dad, you are loved
Dad, you are seen
I’m so proud of you
more than I’ve said
Dad, you are loved
Dad, you are my home
Take these words tonight
and let them stay
[Bridge]
If I could press time
into your open palms
I’d give back every silence
I’d give back every dawn
And if you doubt it
hear me now
you made a good life
from a heavy ground
[Final Chorus]
Dad, you are loved
Dad, you are seen
I’m so proud of you
more than I’ve said
Dad, you are loved
Dad, you are my home
Take these words tonight
and let them stay
Dad, you are loved
Dad, you are loved
Stay here with this
stay here with me
