Dads Strong
By Raymond Livingston
Lost my money, lost my way
Got the devil's hand, but I won't play
Thought about giving up, thought about running
But my girls' eyes, they're all I'm remembering.
I'm staying strong, ain't no storm
Can knock me down, I'm holding on
With every breath, I'll rise again
For my daughters, I'll never bend
In the mirror, I see their faces
Promises made, they're not fake
Gonna be there, gonna be real
Through thick and thin, we'll be free
Loved ones left, the road ahead
With a broken heart, but not dead
Every fall, I learn to stand
For them, I'll fight, no matter the land
I'm staying strong, ain't no wrong
With every step, I'll find my song
Through the night, through the day
For my daughters, I'll always stay
When midnight falls and doubts creep in
I hear their laughter in the wind
Hope shines bright when skies go grey
Their tiny arms lead my way
I’m more than scars, more than fear
Their voices turn pain into cheer
Every tear I wipe away
I remind them, love will stay
So if the world forgets my name
If fortune turns and I’m to blame
They’ll know I kept my vow unbroken
With every word my heart has spoken
I’m staying strong, no matter the cost
For them, no dream is ever lost
One day they'll learn, they'll see me through
I found my strength in loving you
