[Verse 1]
I wake up every morning, staring at the sky
Hoping for a whisper, a sweet little sigh
Searching for some answers in the echoes of my mind
Yearning for a father, the love I couldn't find
Always looking for a sign, someone to lift me high
Instead, I kept on falling, as I learned to ask why
Just wanting some approval, a nod and a smile
But all I got were shadows that lingered for a while
[Chorus]
Tell me I did a great job, tell me it’s alright
It’s hard to keep on pushing through the long solitary nights
Tell me I can screw up, tell me to try again
Because every step I take feels like I have to lose to win
I’m picking up the pieces from a life that's torn apart
Just a kid with dreams, learning to heal my heart
[Verse 2]
The valleys felt so deep, where I wandered and I roamed
Through the fears and failures, I was left to walk alone
Pulling myself up when the world fell down
Every lesson learned beat me into the ground
Dads turned into shadows, knights into despair
I fought through every battle, but I needed someone there
Yet, the echo kept on ringing, “Suck it up, keep on strong,”
But deep inside I wondered, “Where do I belong?”
[Chorus]
Tell me I did a great job, tell me it’s alright
It’s hard to keep on pushing through the long solitary nights
Tell me I can screw up, tell me to try again
Because every step I take feels like I have to lose to win
I’m picking up the pieces from a life that's torn apart
Just a husband with dreams, learning to heal my heart
[BRIDGE]
Now I stand here with my scars, feeling lost yet free
Still reaching for that feeling, but it’s only me I see
What am I longing for, after this long haul
I guess I’ll have to find it within, after all
Lessons unlearned, yet I embrace the fray
For every wound that’s opened, there’s clarity on display
[Chorus]
Tell me I did a great job, tell me it’s alright
It’s hard to keep on pushing through the long solitary nights
Tell me I can screw up, tell me to try again
Because every step I take feels like I have to lose to win
I’m picking up the pieces from a life that's torn apart
Just a parent with dreams, learning to heal my heart
[Outro]
So here’s to moving forward, letting go of the past
Finding strength inside myself, a light that’s built to last
Though I never had a father, I’ll rise up on my own
For the journey’s just beginning, and I’ll never walk alone
