Dad

An early riser, always-on-timer A back breaker, giver not a taker Made sure nothin' was missin' So we could have everything you didn't A patient teacher, strong steady leader Firm hand shaker, never meet a stranger Tough as steel, heart of gold It took a while, but now I know All the little life lessons But you never expected A thank you, a pat on the back You did what you did, no questions asked I could say never enough through the downs and the ups You carried the weight so we'd have a good life Raised us with love So we could fly Anyone else would call you Superman But I just call you Dad A spirit lifter, problem fixer Words of reason There when you need 'em Calm you down, set you straight Yeah, I appreciate All the little life lessons But you never expected A thank you, a pat on the back You did what you did No questions asked I could never say enough through the downs and the ups You carried the weight so we'd have a good life Raised us with love so we could fly Anyone else would call you Superman But I just call you Dad I just call you when I'm lost When I'm empty When I need a little help Whenever I get good news You're the first one I wanna tell So I wanna thank you Give you a pat on the back For doin' what you did, no questions asked I could never say enough through the downs and the ups You carried the weight so we'd have a good life Raised us with love so we could fly Anyone else would call you Superman And I am the man that I am Because I call you Dad
