When I was small You took me by the hand Father you should know I finally understand You taught me wrong from right And how to live You gave the greatest gift That one could give You never let me down You made me strong When I made mistakes When I was wrong Some days we'd laugh And some days we'd fight Somehow you knew one day I'd say you were right You're with me In every word I say In every hour Of every single day In all I do I'm just a part of you You lived your life for us That was your plan Those hands that never take They worked the land Hands that never take Can only give And because of you I know how to live You're with me In every word I say In every hour Of every single day In all I do I'm just a part of you Father just one thing You always knew Every word you said to me was true
