Lyrics
[Instrumental piano Intro melodic]
[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin', just us two,
Toys scattered 'round, our little crew,
She left him alone, chasin' a new man,
[angry] Didn't even say goodbye to her little man. DAMN!
[emotional fast paced] We used to laugh 'til the stars would fade,
Now it’s just me, but I’m unafraid,
Cooking your meals and mending the day,
Finding new joy, showing you the way.
[emotional slow paced] When you cry at midnight, I’ll hold you tight,
Answering questions, through the darkest night,
“WHERE’S MOMMY GONE?! ” you ask with those eyes,
I’m here with love, no need to disguise.
[Instrumental break]
[Pre-Chorus]
How could she vanish, leave us in the cold?
But we’re stronger now, our story unfolds,
Your little heart searching, but don’t you fear,
I’m right here, our future’s crystal clear.
[Chorus]
I’m your dad, I’ll be your fortress, your shield,
Through every storm, every wound, we'll heal,
In my arms, you’ll find a safe, unbreakable space,
Through every battle, we'll conquer with grace.
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
Midnight cries and lullabies that soothe,
Holding you close, as we find our groove,
Her absence left a mark, but we’re on the rise,
Building a future under these bright skies.
Packing your lunch, with love that’s true,
Teaching you lessons, each day we renew,
Making up for the love she chose to flee,
Every day’s a chance, just you and me.
Walking the park as the sunlight gleams,
Holding you close, fulfilling our dreams,
Answering your questions with a hopeful tone,
We’re creating a world of our own.
[Instrumental break]
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ll forge our path, let our spirits soar,
Build new dreams, and so much more,
Every day’s a victory, and I’ll never let go,
For you, my son, my love will always show.
[Chorus]
I’m your dad, I’ll be your fortress, your shield,
Through every storm, every wound, we'll heal,
In my arms, you’ll find a safe, unbreakable space,
Through every battle, we'll conquer with grace.
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
We’ll rise from the ashes, find our way through,
I’m your anchor, when skies turn blue,
She’s chasing dreams, leaving us behind,
But our bond’s unbreakable, hearts aligned.
Every laugh, every smile, every hopeful cheer,
Gives me strength to face each coming year,
From shattered dreams to a bright new dawn,
Together we’ll rise, and our strength will carry on.
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
I’m your dad, I’ll be your fortress, your shield,
Through every storm, every wound, we'll heal,
In my arms, you’ll find a safe, unbreakable space,
Through every battle, we'll conquer with grace.
[Instrumental break]
[Outro]
So here we stand, just you and I,
In this new world, reaching for the sky,
She’s gone, but our bond’s forever strong,
With a father’s love, we’ll keep moving on.
Every step we take, every battle won,
I’ll be your guide, ‘til the day is done,
She’s left, but our love will always grow,
In this father and son bond, we’ll let it show.
Special thanks to
Philfine & Foggy
