Father I know you have given me all a man could need.
Your love your wisdom and the very life inside of me
I may not always show it but I am grateful for your guiding hand to help me see
Before I ever was you always knew who I would be.
You knew all the trials, tears, and smiles that I would see.
Only you could see the man inside the boy I used to be
And even before I could walk you cleared a path for me.
Now here I stand as that man and that boy that still lives inside of me.
The love, patience, and protection, of a Father does not just belong to me
For you also have a daughter and she needs you right now more than me.
You see she has pains only a daughter of yours can bear and only her Father can see.
I am so thankful for all you have given me.
But, please God hear my broken plea.
Please Father I have no right to ask for more than these gifts you have granted me.
But please let here stay here live a full life and trade her for me.

Verse 4
So please give her your full attention be all in this moment I can not be.
Please pull away her pain and fears and cast them away farther than her and I can see.
If these pains and fears won't leave her without a place to go.
Send them my way for her I will take every hit they throw.
Please God I beg you give her another day.
Chorus x2
Outro
I cried to God with all I had that night
Not knowing what tomorrow held or if I her or I had another day.
It was 20 year ago to this very day.
And as she holds my hand I can feel my life slipping away.
I know it's time for me to go now but in the darkness I see a light I hear sweet voice say
Please, God, pull his pain and fears and cast them away
Farther than he or I can ever see.
If these pains and fears won't leave him without a place to go.
Send them my way for him. God, I will take every hit they throw.
