My own Superman (song for Dad)

[Verse 1]
He don’t say much, but he says what counts
Truth rolls easy when he opens his mouth
He’s a man of the Word, not just Sunday shoes
You’ll find him in work boots, preaching good news

He gives when it hurts, never takes more
Leaves his coat on the nail by the door
Kisses Mom every day like he just said “I do”
And somehow still finds time to see things through

⸻

[Chorus]
He’s my own Superman, no cape, no flight
Just hands that heal and arms that fight
For the people he loves, and the God he serves
He don’t cuss, don’t quit, don’t swerve
From the truth in his heart, or the hammer in his hands
Yeah, he’s more than a man —
He’s my own Superman

⸻

[Verse 2]
He taught me to stand, to kneel, to pray
To hold onto hope when the skies turn gray
He don’t cry much, but when he does
It’s holy ground, a father’s love

He’s up before light, works till it’s gone
And somehow still leads our whole world along
He showed me how to be a husband and dad
I only hope I’ll wear the name like he has

⸻

[Chorus]
He’s my own Superman, no cape, no flight
Just hands that heal and arms that fight
For the people he loves, and the God he serves
He don’t cuss, don’t quit, don’t swerve
From the truth in his heart, or the hammer in his hands
Yeah, he’s more than a man —
He’s my own Superman

⸻

[Bridge – Legacy & Farewell]
One day he’ll lay that hammer down for good
Trade this hard earth for streets made of gold
God will smile and say, “Well done, my son”
His race will be run, but his work won’t be done

He’ll leave a void that no one can fill
But a legacy of grace and iron will
And I’ll carry his name, his faith, his flame
And honor the man who gave me my name

⸻

[Final Chorus]
He’s my own Superman, my anchor, my light
With grace like thunder and quiet might
For the people he loves, and the God he serves
He don’t cuss, don’t quit, don’t swerve
From the truth in his heart, or the hammer in his hands
Yeah, he’s more than a man —
He’s my own Superman
