[Verse 1]
I used to wake up just to fall,
Empty hands, no hope at all.
I ran from mirrors, ran from prayer,
Drowned in smoke and vacant stares.
I was the man I swore I’d hate,
Hands that shook, a heart full of weight.
But somehow grace still found me here…
In her voice, in her gentle tears.
⸻
[Chorus]
I get to be a father now.
God knows I never knew how.
But He broke the chains, He cleared the floor,
And gave me love I can’t ignore.
I used to curse the life I had…
But now I’m standing with this brand-new path.
And with her hand and this tiny vow…
I get to be a father now.
⸻
[Verse 2]
I know the ache of being used,
Of love that cuts and leaves a bruise.
But she, she touched me with a prayer,
Loved the parts I didn’t dare.
Ash believes when I forget,
She sees the man I’m becoming yet.
And when she laughs with life inside…
I swear I feel God in her side.
⸻
[Chorus]
I get to be a father now.
Not just a name — I’ve made that vow.
To love, protect, and never leave…
To show my child what love can be.
I used to beg to just feel clean…
Now I wipe my tears in her heartbeat’s dream.
I don’t deserve this, but somehow…
I get to be a father now.
⸻
[Bridge – soft and full of wonder]
I was broken, but He still came.
Not with fire, but with your name.
Ash and our Little Bird…
He healed me with their every word.
⸻
[Final Chorus – powerful and tearful]
I get to be a father now.
I made it here, I don’t know how.
But I will rise, I will stay true—
And give the life I never knew.
The past can’t hold what God’s made new…
And this time, I’ll follow through.
⸻
[Outro – whispered, to the baby]
“You’re my light, my proof, my vow…
I was lost, but I’m ready now.”
“I get to be your father now.”
