[Intro] This one... is dedicated to every father. Every dad who showed up. Every dad still showing up. Every father teaching. And to those fathers who have passed on, whose love still lives in our hearts. [Verse 1] Protecting, guiding, loving, sacrificing, providing, praying. Whether you're here with us, or watching from heaven above. Your legacy lives on through your children, through your lessons, through your love. This is your song. [Verse 2] First steps, little hands, you were there helping us stand. (Oh) Bike rides, late nights, teaching wrong from what is right. School plays, football games, always calling out our names. Holding tears, hiding fears, making sure we made it through the years. (Yeah) [Chorus] You were the voice saying baby don't quit. The hands that lifted when life got heavy with it. You gave advice, you gave time, you gave pieces of your life. A father's love lives on, long after the moments are gone. Through every lesson, every prayer, every memory we carry you. [Bridge] You taught us strength, you showed us grace. Your love can never be replaced. Father, Father, Father, Father, we celebrate you. Father, Father, Father, Father, we celebrate you. [Verse 3] Working hard, making ends meet, still finding time for family. Teaching daughters what love should be, teaching sons integrity. Helping with homework, praying at night, being the calm in every fight. Showing us love through every season, giving us something to believe in. [Chorus] You were the shoulder, you were the guide. The steady hand right by our side. When the world felt cold, you helped us see who we were meant to be. A father's love lives on, long after the moments are gone. Through every sacrifice, every tear, every battle you've overcome. Your words remain inside our souls, the older we get, the more we know. [Outro] To the fathers reading bedtime stories, to the fathers working long mornings. To the fathers coaching Little League, to the fathers teaching us to dream. To the fathers leading by example, to the fathers giving second chances. To the fathers loving unconditionally, to the fathers who never stop believing. Your children may not always say it, but every lesson mattered, every hug mattered, every prayer mattered, every moment mattered. A father's love lives on, stronger than time, stronger than distance, stronger than pain. For every lesson, for every smile, for every extra mile you walked for us. Father, Father, Father, Father, we honor you. Father, Father, Father, Father, we thank you.
