Ninety-four years on a winding road
Still walking tall with a gentle soul
You’ve carried storms most hearts can’t bear
But somehow you kept standing there
Two wives, two sons… gone too soon
But you held on beneath that moon
And through the shadows, through the pain
You taught me love can still remain

This is my song for my dad
For the strength in your hands, all the dreams that you had
For the lessons you gave when the world turned bad
And the love that you shared with the life that you had
Nothing was perfect, sometimes it was hard
But you stayed, you believed, and you guarded my heart
So here’s every thank-you I never quite had
This is my song… my song for my dad

I remember days when times were tough
You worked your hands till they had enough
We didn’t have much, but we always had you
A lighthouse burning steady and true

You showed me right, you showed me wrong
You built a voice in me that still stands strong
And now I see, in my children’s eyes
The part of you that never dies

This is my song for my dad
For the hope in your heart and the courage you had
For the nights you stayed up when the road looked bad
For the love that you gave—every tear that you shed
Nothing was perfect, but somehow you knew
How to hold a broken world and make it brand new
So here’s every thank-you I never quite had
This is my song… my song for my dad

I’m the last one standing here
But I carry them with you, year after year
All the ones you lost, all the stories told
In your voice, still warm, still bold
You’re amazing, Dad… you really are
A walking miracle, a northern star

This is my song for my dad
My hero, my mentor, the best friend I have
For a life filled with love after all that went bad
You still found a way to make my heart glad
If I’m a good man, it’s ’cause of your hand
Your courage, your kindness, your steady command
So here it is, Dad… from your proudest son
This is my song… my only one
This is my song for my dad
