I remember distant days, when you seemed so far away
Mom and Dad, they couldn’t stay, so you let her lead the way
But you stood tall through the waves, never showed the pain you braved
Now I see the love you gave, in your silent, steadfast way
You keep standing when the big waves hit you
You move forward in the heavy storm
You act as normal within the hardship
Now I understand, your heart kept us warm

Years have passed and I’ve grown, I’ve faced troubles of my own
Looking back, I’ve always known, your strength was my cornerstone
Your sacrifices, often unseen, your love was in between the scenes
Now I carry what you’ve been, proud to say, I’m your dream
You keep standing when the big waves hit you
You move forward in the heavy storm
You act as normal within the hardship
Now I understand, your heart kept us warm

Every battle that you fought, every lesson that you taught
Now I see, it wasn’t for naught, your love was the anchor I sought
I was watching, though I didn’t know, your silent strength helped me grow
In your footsteps, now I go, your legacy within me flows

You keep standing when the big waves hit you
You move forward in the heavy storm
You act as normal within the hardship
Now I understand, your heart kept us warm

Daddy, now I see your fight, how you kept us in your sight
Through the dark and through the light,
you were my guiding star so bright
In your love, I find my might,
proud to carry on your life
