[Intro]
Oh, Victor W. Penn,
A name etched in my heart,
A father like no other,
From the very start.
[Verse 1]
You dreamed of numbers,
In a world so bright,
But you traded all for love,
To keep me in the light.
You took a path less traveled,
You wore your pain with grace,
Through chemical burns and trials,
You held a steadfast face.
[Pre-Chorus]
Twenty-two long years,
You walked without a sound,
Suffering was your shadow,
Yet strength was all around.
[Chorus]
Dear Lord, can you hear me?
My heart aches for my dad,
After all the love he gave,
It’s the sweetest pain I’ve had.
Victor W. Penn,
Your spirit walks with me,
In every step I take,
You made me who I be.
[Verse 2]
I’ve wandered through the darkness,
Slept beneath the stars,
In silence I have felt you,
It’s healing from the scars.
Through all the hurt and sorrow,
When the nights were cold and long,
Your whispers pushed me forward,
You’re my light, my love, my song.
[Bridge]
Oh, Papa Penn,
I see you in my dreams,
You’re waiting in the shadows,
Breaking through the seams.
No more pain you carry,
You’re free to soar above,
In your heavenly grace,
You’re my eternal love.
[Chorus]
Dear Lord, can you hear me?
My heart aches for my dad,
After all the love he gave,
It’s the sweetest pain I’ve had.
Victor W. Penn,
Your spirit walks with me,
In every step I take,
You made me who I be.
[Outro]
So, Papa Penn, I’m fine now,
You can go back home,
In my heart, you’re never gone,
You don’t walk alone.
Victor W. Penn,
Forever in my soul,
Through the love you gave,
I will always feel whole.
