Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’ve got my own front door
My own keys in my hand
A life that you helped build
More than I could understand
I wear your old jokes
Like a shirt that still fits right
And when the world gets heavy
I still want your light
[Pre-Chorus]
You taught me how to stand
When I was learning how to fall
Taught me how to laugh it off
When I was feeling small
And time keeps moving on
But one thing never fades
[Chorus]
Dad, you’re still my hero
Still my best friend
No matter how the years go
It’s you I call in the end
Dad, you’re still my hero
That will never change
I’m grown, but in my heart
You wear the same old name
[Verse 2]
I hear your voice in mine
When I’m talking through the doubt
I see your steady hands
When I’m figuring life out
You cheered for every mile
Even when I moved too fast
And somehow you made home feel
Like it always knew my path
[Pre-Chorus]
You never asked for credit
You just showed up every day
With a little truth, a little grit
And a smile that made it stay
Now I’m out here on my own
But I carry what you gave
[Chorus]
Dad, you’re still my hero
Still my best friend
No matter how the years go
It’s you I call in the end
Dad, you’re still my hero
That will never change
I’m grown, but in my heart
You wear the same old name
[Bridge]
If I’m ever half as strong
As the man you’ve been to me
Then I’ll know I’ve learned enough
To face whatever comes to me
And if the world gets dark
I’ll remember what you said
Keep your chin up, kid
And keep your soul fed
[Final Chorus]
Dad, you’re still my hero
Still my best friend
No matter how the years go
It’s you I call in the end
Dad, you’re still my hero
That will never change
I’m grown, but in my heart
You wear the same old name
Dad, you’re still my hero
Still my best friend
And if I have to say it
I’ll say it once again
Dad, you’re still my hero
Forever and a day
I’m grown, but in my heart
You lead the way
