A fathers love

Verse 1

I know how I got here,

And why I can’t deny,

Spent years tryin’ to please you all,

Always changin’ my disguise.

But here I stand now, solid ground,

Proud, unbroken, wise—

You bent the truth to suit yourselves,

Started believin’ in your own lies.

---

Pre-Chorus

I carried more than a man should bear,

Still somehow I survived—

I learned the hard way what it means

To finally feel alive.

---

Chorus

’Cause I’ve been a father, been a fighter,

Worked my hands down to the bone,

Built a life for three young hearts

I’ll never let go of or leave alone.

I’d give my life to keep them safe—

Yeah, that’s my purpose, that’s my pride.

A father’s love, a father’s job,

A father’s right to survive.

---

Verse 2 (optional)

You tried to write my story,

But that pen ain’t yours to hold.

I walked the flames you lit for me,

Came out stronger in the cold.

Now every scar is a lesson,

Every bruise a battle won.

I’m not the man you pushed around—

I’m the man I’ve become.

---

Bridge (optional)

And if the world comes crashin’ down,

I’ll still stand my ground.

You can take my peace, you can take my sleep,

But you’ll never take my crown.
