My DAD Is My Hero Lyrics

I still look at your old boots
Sitting by the hallway door
It feels like the quietest house
When your footsteps aren't on the floor
The city keeps moving outside,
Oblivious to the space you left
While I'm carrying the weight of your absence
Deep inside my chest

I try to hold it together
When the morning light comes in
But every day feels like a hill
That's getting too steep to win
I'm looking up at the ceiling,
Letting the teardrops fall
The shadows are closing back in,
And I feel so incredibly small
I'm calling out into the quiet room,
Wishing that you could hear
Because the weight of this world
Is starting to feel like fear

I miss you, Dad,
I am very broken
This life is very hard
And I am trying my best
When you were here,
You were my hero
Now I am fighting the battle alone
But I'm standing my ground on the pavement
I'm lifting my eyes to the sky
If you taught me one thing,
It's that a soldier doesn't just lie down and die
So I'm calling on the God of the armies
To step right into this fight
You were my hero in the daylight,
Now I'm fighting the dark tonight

I remember the strength in your hands,
The way you protected our name
Now that the frontline is mine,
I promise to do the exact same
The enemy wants me defeated,
He wants me to sink in the grief
But I'm picking the shield back up,
Finding a radical belief
You aren't here to protect me,
But the Father of heaven is awake

I miss you, Dad,
I am very broken
This life is very hard
And I am trying my best
When you were here,
You were my hero
Now I am fighting the battle alone
But I'm standing my ground on the pavement
I'm lifting my eyes to the sky
If you taught me one thing,
It's that a soldier doesn't just lie down and die
So I'm calling on the God of the armies
To step right into this fight
You were my hero in the daylight,
Now I'm fighting the dark tonight

I'm keeping the faith, Dad
The battle is loud
But the Lord is my shield now
I'm gonna make you proud
