[Intro]
Yeah
This one’s for you
My baby girl
Listen
[Verse 1]
Tiny socks on the heater
Name tag on the crib rail
First time that I held you
My tough talk went all pale
Ink stains on the paperwork
Tears stuck in my beard
Whole block looked different
Soon as you appeared
I was raised in the basement
Rust pipes, cracked paint
You came, that cage bent
Turned a curse into a saint
From the gutter to the glow in your night light
You the “why” every time that I fight
[Chorus]
You mean the world to me
That’s facts, that’s law, that’s everything
Every scar, every verse, every breath I breathe
All in, all yours, you my legacy
You mean the world to me
Heart in my chest, on your car seat
If the sky ever falls, you can lean on me
My beautiful daughter, you the world to me (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Lunch pail, double shift, steel toes
Still home in time for your kid shows
You laugh, whole room turns pastel
Hard life, but your smile makes hell melt
I messed up, did dirt, had beef
Now I stash that pride, you my peace
Stack hopes in a jar like coins
Dream big, let the small noise void
When they talk wild, I teach calm
When life swing hard, I be your palm
Every “dad, look!” pulls me higher
You the spark in this barbed wire
[Chorus]
You mean the world to me
That’s facts, that’s law, that’s everything
Every scar, every verse, every breath I breathe
All in, all yours, you my legacy
You mean the world to me
Heart in my chest, on your car seat
If the sky ever falls, you can lean on me
My beautiful daughter, you the world to me (woah)
