Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You found me in the dust
When I was just a kid
My daddy said “stand up”
That’s the only way we lived
First job, split palms
Grease on my collar too
You said “keep your head down”
But look me in the eye, I do
[Pre-Chorus]
When I got scared, You stayed
When he was gone, You stayed
Same old road, same hard rain
Still You called my name
[Chorus]
You were there, God
You were there, Dad
Through my first check
Through the cold I had
You were there, God
You were there, Dad
When I held my son
When I buried my friend
You were there, God
You were there, Dad
(You were there)
(You were there)
[Verse 2]
First love came like fire
Then it burned my hand
I tried to hold it tighter
It slipped right through my plans
Then my little one was born
Tiny fist, big cry
I heard my father in my bones
And I heard You in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
When the room got dark
You kept a light on
When the ground gave way
You were still my song
[Chorus]
You were there, God
You were there, Dad
Through my first check
Through the cold I had
You were there, God
You were there, Dad
When I held my son
When I buried my friend
You were there, God
You were there, Dad
(You were there)
(You were there)
[Bridge]
Now I sit with the ache
At the edge of the bed
One hand on my son
One hand on what you said
If I walk through the smoke
If I kneel in the dirt
I know love leaves a mark
And it don’t leave first
[Final Chorus]
You were there, God
You were there, Dad
Through my first check
Through the cold I had
You were there, God
You were there, Dad
When I held my son
When I buried my friend
You were there, God
You were there, Dad
(You were there)
(You were there)
