Dad

**Verse 1**  
The hum of engines still rings in my ears,  
A man of grit who never showed his fears.  
He built a life with calloused hands,  
Fixing what’s broken, making a stand.  
But time slipped away before I could learn,  
How to face the fire, how to take my turn.  

**Chorus**  
I miss you, Dad, and I’m lost in the fight,  
How do I carry your torch through the night?  
The world feels heavy, and I don’t have a clue,  
How I’m supposed to walk in his shoes.  

**Verse 2**  
I still talk to you when the nights get cold,  
When I’m feeling lost or just need to be told— 

That I’ll be okay, 

that I’ll find my way.  

I hope you hear me when,
 I try to pray.  

I ask for your strength when I feel undone,  
And hope you’re proud of the man ,
I’ve become.  

**Chorus**  
I miss you, Dad, and I’m lost in the fight,  
How do I carry your torch through the night?  
The world feels heavy, and I don’t have a clue,  
How I’m supposed to walk in his shoes.  

**Bridge**  
I carry your lessons like tools in my hand,  
You taught me to fight and to take a stand.  
When the road gets rough and the skies turn gray,  
I hear your voice saying,

(Darker voice whispers )
 "Son, find a way."  
Your strength runs deep in the blood we share,  
It’s what keeps me going when life’s unfair.  

**Chorus**  
I miss you, Dad, and I’m lost in the fight,  
How do I carry your torch through the night?  
The world feels heavy, and I don’t have a clue,  
How I’m supposed to walk in his shoes.  

**Outro**  
I’ll keep talking to you like you’re still near,  
Hoping my words find their way to your ear.  
Your strength is my anchor when life pulls me apart,  
And though I’ll never fill your shoes—you’ll always fill my heart.
