He started with nothing but two working hands
Dreams in his pocket, no big master plan.
The world was heavy, but he never bowed
Bow only to God, he walks strong and proud
Chorus
My father, a self made man,
Built his own life with just heart and sand
Every scar, a story told, every step, a heart of gold
He taught me to rise when I fall again
My father my self made man.
Nights without rest, but he never complain
Through sweat and struggles, his courage remained
He gave me faith that the stars could be ours,
If we worked for the light through the darkest hours
Chorus..
Now I see his hands worn but strong
They've shaped my life where i belong
His voice still whispers when times get tough,
"Stand tall my child, you're enough
Chorus..
Bridge...
My father my self made man
Built his world with his own plan
No crown or throne, but a legacy
Of fire, hope, faith and honesty
I'll carry his dreams bas long as I can
For my father my hero my self made man
Chorus
