The Greatest Man I Know

You worked the long hours, but you always made time

To teach me how to throw a ball, and hit every sign

With your steady hand, you showed me how to aim

Taught me how to stand tall, and play the game

No matter the storm or the road you’d go down

You wore your strength like a king wears his crown

You’re the greatest man I know, Dad

With every step, you’ve made me glad

You showed me what it means to be a Dad

Through every rise and every fall

There’s no one better, no one I’d rather show

I’m proud to be your son, you’re the greatest man I know

You didn’t need riches or fame to shine

Your love and wisdom were yours to define

From every word to every quiet deed

You gave me the tools to succeed

When I was lost, you showed me the way

Lifted me up, every single day

You’re the greatest man I know, Dad

With every step, you’ve made me glad

You showed me what it means to be a Dad

Through every rise and every fall

There’s no one better, no one I’d rather show

I’m proud to be your son, you’re the greatest man I know

With every laugh and every tear

You taught me to live without fear

No one compares to the love you gave

I’ll carry it with me, my whole life saved

You’re the greatest man I know, Dad

With every step, you’ve made me glad

You showed me what it means to be a Dad

Through every rise and every fall

There’s no one better, no one I’d rather show

I’m proud to be your son, you’re the greatest man I know

Yeah, you’re the greatest man I know…

The greatest man I know, Dad.
