Legacy Rewritten Lyrics

You were never there just an empty chair

Promises broken you didn't care

Bottle in hand violence in your eyes

Jail cell bars living a life of lies

We cried in the night but you never came

Left us to fend to carry your shame

No guiding hand no words of love

Just a shadow lurking never enough

Better off without you you toxic waste

Through the darkness your memory's erased

No more tears no more pain

In your absence we've broken the chain

In the shadow of a man who never cared

A broken heart a life ensnared

But then you came like a ray of light

Mended the pieces made things right

When nights were dark and tears would fall

You stood by me through it all

With every step you showed the way

Turned my night into day

Promotion to Dad you earned it true

Through the highs and lows you always knew

No more step just a dad to me

In your arms I'm finally free

In the wreckage of what he left behind

You built me up gave me peace of mind

No more shadows no more fear

You turned the pain into something clear

Where he failed you stood strong

And in your love I've found where I belong

Now I stand proud to say

You're my dad in every way

Not by blood but by heart

From the very start you played the part

Better off without him you made it clear

With your love you've conquered every fear

No more step just a dad to me

In your arms I'm finally free

In your love I've found my way

No more shadows from yesterday

Promotion to Dad you've taken the lead

You're the father I always needed
