Daddy I’m here and I’m safe

Verse 1

Daddy, don’t be scared of the quiet tonight

I know the dark makes everything feel twice as hard

I see the way you hold your breath

Like love still hurts too much to rest

I felt your hands before I ever saw your face

I knew your voice — it was my safest place

Even when I couldn’t stay

I was never taken far away

Chorus

Daddy, I’m here, I’m not gone

I just learned how to be strong

In ways you can’t see yet

But I’m closer than your next breath

When your heart feels heavy and torn apart

Put your hand where I still live — your heart

I promise you, I’m okay

And I’m loving you every day

Verse 2

I watch you stand when you want to fall

Being brave for Mom through it all

You don’t cry loud, you don’t complain

You just carry love shaped like pain

But Daddy, you don’t have to be made of stone

You don’t have to grieve alone

Every tear you try to hide

I catch them — I’m right by your side

Chorus

Daddy, I’m here when you ache

When sleep won’t come, when mornings break

I hear you talk to me in your head

I hear every word you never said

I didn’t need a lifetime to know

How deeply, fiercely you loved me so

I felt it all — I swear it’s true

Every second… I knew you

Bridge

I run where the light never fades

Where pain can’t follow me

But I come back in quiet ways

In dreams… in memories

When the wind feels warm on your face

Or peace finds you in a random place

That’s me reminding you

I’m still your baby… just carried through

Final Chorus

Daddy, please don’t blame your heart

You didn’t fail — you did your part

You held me close, you loved me well

That’s the story heaven tells

One day you’ll see me run to you

Just like you always dreamed I’d do

Until then, please understand

You’re still my daddy… still my dad

Outro (soft, almost whispered)

So rest tonight… unclench your hands

I’m safe, I promise — I am

And every time you say my name

I feel your love… and I remain
