[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] In the quiet moments, I reflect, On the love you gave without regret. From school-day mornings in the van, To those recipes made with your hand, Each moment is a gift, a memory so grand. [Chorus] Dad, you showed me how to stand tall, Through every rise and every fall. You've paved a road so wide and true, And I’m forever grateful for you. [Verse 2] The summers in Texas, the orange juice freeze, Burritos and tamales with ease. From King Ranch Casseroles to pecan ice cream, You made life a beautiful dream. But more than the meals, it's the way you care, Your love and wisdom, always there. [Chorus] Dad, you showed me how to stand tall, Through every rise and every fall. You've paved a road so wide and true, And I’m forever grateful for you. [Bridge] In a world that's filled with chaos and fear, Your voice, your love, they keep me here. You broke the chain, you set me free, And built a better world for me. [Chorus] Dad, you showed me how to stand tall, Through every rise and every fall. You've paved a road so wide and true, And I’m forever grateful for you. [Outro] I’m forever grateful for you, Forever grateful for you, Dad. [instrumental hook] [outro] [Fade-out] [end]
