family man Lyrics

I really can't deny that the very first time

I opened my eyes, I saw you in my life

Then I heard you speak the very first words in my ear

Like a secret lullaby

You watched us grow from ten centimetres to a hundred

And a little bit more

Every year that flew by like an aeroplane

Much faster than the walks on the curbs

It's always been you through every single time

I'm not right in the head

I've written out every artery

Till my blood ran dry again

And I swear every fight was a step to something so much better

And the pen leaked on the paper as you pieced back up the letters

You grew up from a little boy in a village

To the strongest man we know

Swept through currents with a spirit

That could never bring you down

And we know how much you went through

And we know how lucky we are to have you

Never did we live life in greyscale

The colours, we didn't need to imagine

At the same time, you saw through my disguises

I used in the done damage

We'll never forget how you drop everything

Just for the people you love

And that's exactly how much in return

That you really deserve

You grew up from a little boy in a village

To the strongest man we know

Swept through currents with a spirit

That could never bring you down

And we know how much you went through

And we know how lucky we are to have you

A wife and daughters aren't all there is to make a family man

It's the late night talks and midnight drives and boyband songs we sang

But you are all of those things and so much more

Nothing is ever stronger

Than the feeling I get when I can say

I am my father's daughter
