Daddy
Verse 1
Daddy, I never really knew your face,
Only pieces of a story, only traces of your name.
I grew up with questions that nobody could explain,
Trying to understand why you never came.
I watched other daughters walk beside their fathers’ hands,
And I wondered if you ever thought of me where I stand.
There were birthdays and tears, victories and pain,
And I wished I could have heard you call my name.
Chorus
But Daddy, I forgive you, though I never knew the whole story.
I release the hurt, I release the pain, I release the missing glory.
Because God became the Father that I needed all along,
Holding me together when I had to be strong.
Though you were absent, though you’re gone today,
Your daughter found her strength anyway.
And I pray in Heaven somehow you can see,
The woman God created me to be.
Verse 2
Life wasn’t easy, I stumbled down some roads,
Carried heavy burdens and impossible loads.
But every time I fell, God lifted me again,
Turning my broken places into strength within.
I searched for answers, searched for where I came from,
Looking for a father while becoming someone.
And though I never got the chance to hear your voice,
I chose forgiveness, and that became my choice.
Chorus
But Daddy, I forgive you, though I never knew the whole story.
I release the hurt, I release the pain, I release the missing glory.
Because God became the Father that I needed all along,
Holding me together when I had to be strong.
Though you were absent, though you’re gone today,
Your daughter found her strength anyway.
And I pray in Heaven somehow you can see,
The woman God created me to be.
Bridge
No more anger, no more chains,
No more living in yesterday’s pain.
What was missing didn’t stop God’s plan,
He carried me when no one else can.
Final Chorus
Daddy, I forgive you, and now my heart is free,
The little girl inside has found her peace at last, you see.
For every tear I’ve cried, God collected every one,
And He never left my side when everyone was gone.
Though we never shared the moments daughters dream of through the years,
God turned my sorrow into purpose through the tears.
And one day in eternity, by God’s amazing grace,
Maybe I’ll finally meet you face to face.
Outro
Daddy…
I missed you.
I forgave you.
I loved you anyway.
And God carried me all the way.
