Thank You

Dad this is for you. Hope you like it. 

(Verse 1)
Guess I should just say thank you,
For the lessons learned in pain,
Growing up without you around,
Took a toll I can’t explain.
A boy shouldn’t grow up all alone,
But I found my way, I found my ground,
You left two boys and a heartbroken home,
While our mom fought hard, she never backed down.

(Chorus)
A boy shouldn’t grow up without his father’s hand,
You left two boys behind, and our mom had to stand,
Struggling alone, while we just tried to be,
The sons you’d be proud of, but you didn’t wanna see. 

(Verse 2)
I used to think it was our fault somehow,
Wondering what made you run away,
Watching kids with their dads play,
It made me sad, wishing you would just of stayed.

OH,

(Chorus)
A boy shouldn’t grow up without his father’s hand,
You left two boys behind, and our mom had to stand,
Struggling alone, while we just tried to be,
The sons you’d be proud of, but you didn’t wanna see!

(Verse 3)
But growing up without you shaped me, it’s true,
I’ll be there for my kids in all that they do,
When they wake in the night, I’ll hold them tight,
Not a thousand miles apart, I’ll be just a few steps away!

(Bridge)
I’ll cheer at every game, through every school dance,
I’ll be there for their first heartbreaks, give love a chance,
So I guess I should say thank you for the pain,
For showing me the way, how to break that chain.

OHHHHH!!!

(Outro)
A boy shouldn’t grow up without his father’s hand,
You left two boys behind, and our mom had to stand,
But I’ll be the dad that you never could be,
Thank you for the lessons, I’m finally free!
