[Intro]
Oh, Dad, listen close, we’ve got a tale to unfold,
Of strength and struggle, a heart made of gold.
[Verse 1]
He started out young, just a boy with a dream,
In a world full of shadows, he learned how to beam.
Through the trials and the heartaches that life threw his way,
He stood tall and proud, he found light in the gray.
[Pre-Chorus]
With a burden of silence, a wrongly penned fate,
But he wore that strength like a cloak, he was never too late.
In the depths of the darkness, he willfully sparked,
A fire that pushed through, igniting his heart.
[Chorus]
Dad, you’re more than you know, a mountain so high,
With wisdom and power, you’ve always soared through the sky.
From the ashes you rose, like a phoenix in flight,
With us by your side, love can conquer the night.
[Verse 2]
He walked through the fire, left the past in the dust,
With every sip tossed, shaped a life built on trust.
For us, he’s the hero, the one who holds fast,
Through the storms that have raged,
he emerged from the last blast.
[Verse3]
Oh, the battles you’ve fought, we’re grateful each day,
For the man that you are, in each word that you say.
And even when doubts seemed to tower so tall,
You’ve shown us you’re stronger, you’re wiser than all.
[Bridge]
So here’s to the moments we’re never without,
Me and Hanna, we cheer on for you, hear us shout.
Through the ups and the downs, in sunshine or rain,
You’re our father, our mentor, through joy and through pain.
[Outro]
So, hold your head high, earn that crown on your way,
We are proud of you, Dad, and we’re here to stay.
To know you’re forever the man that you are,
In our hearts, you’ll shine brightly, our guiding star.
