Because of You

From the first day of my life you were always there for me
You were everything a true father is supposed to be
Such devotion you displayed, loving me relentlessly
So much faith you had, I thank God that you’re my dad

And I can no longer hear your voice or see your face
But that’s alright for you are alive within me every day
You showed me how to be strong and do what I can
To help the world, to be a good man
Even though I’m sad, you’ve made me glad

I am who I am today because of you
I don’t have to be afraid because of you
You’ve been with me all along in the words of every song
I’ll be brave and I’ll be strong because of you
I am free and I’m alive because of you
I know who I am inside because of you
I’ll never fear, yes I am here because of you

Though sometimes we disagreed I know that you loved me so
And I felt the same though I didn’t always let it show
Now that you are gone I wish that you didn’t have to go
But I’ll be okay ‘til we meet again someday

And I’m so grateful for all the things I learned from you
You taught me how to be a good husband, friend and father too
I won’t forget how you gave your all and you tried
To make a difference and to provide
For your family so faithfully

I am who I am today because of you
I don’t have to be afraid because of you
You’ve been with me all along in the words of every song
I’ll be brave and I’ll be strong because of you
I am free and I’m alive because of you
I know who I am inside because of you
I’ll never fear, yes I am here because of you

I’ll do what I can to make you proud of me
And as I grow old I’ll cherish the memories
Your love for your children is your legacy
You will live on although we’re apart
Forever you dwell right here in my heart

I am who I am today because of you
I don’t have to be afraid because of you
You’ve been with me all along in the words of every song
I’ll be brave and I’ll be strong because of you
I am free and I’m alive because of you
I know who I am inside because of you
I’ll never fear, yes I am here because of you
