[Verse 1]
Dad, you held the door
When I could not see
You built my first road
And you walked it with me
Brothers in the fight
You stayed solid, stayed near
You turned hard days light
Made the wrong ones clear
You showed me how to stand
When the whole world shakes
You passed me your calm
When my own heart breaks
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m here in white
With my whole life bright
And I feel your love
Standing just behind
[Chorus]
Thank you for everything
Thank you for everything
You made me who I am
You made me strong enough
Thank you for everything
Thank you for everything
Dad and my brothers
You are my first love (my first love)
[Verse 2]
Late-night rides home
With your hand on the wheel
Quiet talks in the dark
That taught me what is real
Big laughs at the table
Small prayers before sleep
You gave me the kind of love
That runs deep
Now I take this vow
With your names in my chest
All the ways you loved me
I will carry them best
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m here in white
With my whole life bright
And I feel your love
Standing just behind
[Chorus]
Thank you for everything
Thank you for everything
You made me who I am
You made me strong enough
Thank you for everything
Thank you for everything
Dad and my brothers
You are my first love (my first love)
[Bridge]
If I ever fall
I know where I belong
At your front door
Where I learned to be strong
You gave me a home
Even when I ran
So I’m saying it now
While I still can
[Final Chorus]
Thank you for everything
Thank you for everything
You made me who I am
You made me strong enough
Thank you for everything
Thank you for everything
Dad and my brothers
You are my first love (my first love)
Thank you for everything
Thank you for everything
I’m yours in my heart
And I always was (always was)
