Intro
Verse 1
His Hands Were Broken, His Back Was Sore
He Built A Home From An Empty Floor.
Every Dawn He Rose Through The Cold, Through The Rain
Trading His Youth For A Lifetime Of Pain.
Verse 2
He Walked Through Hunger, He Carried The Load.
He Chose His Children's Dreams Over His Own.
No Crown, No Glory, No Riches To Show,
But His Love Was A Seed That Would Always Grow.
Chorus
He Gave Up The Night, He Gave Up His Rest.
Laid Down His Heart So They Live Their Best.
The Shoes He Wore Were Torn And Thin,
But His Children Walked In The Finest Skin.
He Said, Take The World, Take What I Could Not,
Make A Life From The Chances I Never Got
Chorus
Though He Stood With Nothing In Hand,
He Gave Them The Earth By The Strength Of A Man.
And The Years Rolled By, But The Truth Remained:
A Father's Love Is A Holy Flame.
He's A Man They Call Father, A Hero Son,
He Carried The Weight So His Children Could Run
And When There Journey Reached The Light Of Day
They Gave It All Back In A Grander Way
Solo
Bridge
The Children Return With Honor And Pride,
They Placed Their Wealth At Their Father's Side.
Everything We Are, We Owe To You.
The Battles You Fought The Life You Knew
Now He Walks In Peace With A Humble Heart,
A Man Of Honer Set Apart
For The Riches He Owns Are Not Of Gold,
But In The Love Of His Children As He Grows Old
Chorus
And The Years Rolled By, But The Truth Remained
A Father's Love Is A Holy Flame.
He's The Man They Call Father, A Hero Son,
He Carried The Weight So His Children Could Run
And When There Journey Reached The Light Of Day
And When There Journey Reached The Light Of Day
They Gave It All Back In A Grander Way
Solo
He Never Ask He Never Claimed,
But The Life He Lived Carved Out The Names
And When They Rose They Knelt And Stared
To Honer The Man Who There Lives Have Feared
Chorus
He's The Man They Call Father, A Hero Son,
He Carried The Weight So His Children Could Run
And When There Journey Reached The Light Of Day
They Gave It All Back In A Grander Way
Yes They Gave It All Back In A Grander Way
