When you're a kid daddy tells you that you were a precious gift When you're a teenager daddy tells you to make him proud When you're disappoint him he turns his back on you He compares you to the whole world He makes you feel like you are nobody You build up a negative strength A strength of pride to prove him wrong That pride breaks you into pieces You give yourself away You forget your identity You only remember what a dissappoinment you are Daddy tells you he wish he never had you You tell him you wish you were never born You build a hate that is hard to let go of You try but he never allows you to let go But the father that you never knew comes for you Sweeps you off your feet and tells you to forget what daddy said He tells you how beautiful you are How he sees you as the gift he made you into He wipes your tears away Holds you tight and you feel him Though you cannot see him The father that you had wanted is seen in him The father that you wanted is not visible But he is tangible Sometimes you think you have it all figured out Until you fall to pieces and hold on to him He lifts you up and makes you whole He makes you feel the joy you've never known He is powerful yet he reached to the powerless Sometimes you turn away from him cause you are in pain Yet he never turns his back on you like daddy did Don't give yourself away because he gave up his life for you The father who fills the emptiness you cannot find anywhere else He is the Heavenly Daddy who is never disappointed. |
