My Dad has integrity
My Dad has soul.
My Dad has character
This world can't behold.

He wrestles problems
Right down to the ground.
Then he's tender and kind
Without making a sound.

My Dad is loving
My Dad stands above all
My Dad makes me feel
Like I'm ten feet tall.

He's there when I need him
Before I can look around.
He lifts my every burden
Even if I should feel down.

My Dad is really conscious
My Dad is present everyday.
My Dad promised to be there
In my heart he'll stay.
