And all the days since then
You’ve always been with me
As a hero and a friend
Even when we were fighting
We would end up right again
You taught me of compassion
How to always lend a hand
You said, “give more than you take, son
Be mindful where you stand
There are those who’ll try to break you
But don’t let them think they can”
No matter where we go now
Or what changes come
You will always be my father
And I’ll always be your son
You’d tell me every morning
“Time to rise and greet the day”
You said, “give an honest effort”
And sent me on my way
With mum beside you crying
That was all you had to say
Time has beaten on your body
Left you feeling old
But you’re still the same to me dad
The strongest man I’ve ever known
I would give you some of my good years
So you could have just a little more
No matter where we go now
Or what changes come
You will always be my father
And I’ll always be your son
A home has its foundation
A story has its truth
A pillar I can lean on
When my heart breaks through
A ship has its sails and I
Will always have you
No matter where we go now
Or what changes come
You will always be my father
And I’ll always be your son
