[Verse 1]
Fathers
Give me the strength to rise
My hands are trembling
I tell no lies
The wind howls deep
The earth stands still
I seek your fire
I crave your will
[Prechorus]
Let the drums of old call my name
Through shadows thick
Through skies aflame
[Chorus]
Fathers
Give me the strength to be
Who I must
Who they need to see
Forgive me when I stumble and fall
Guide my voice
Let me hear your call
[Verse 2]
Teach me to lead with an iron hand
But a heart that bends like desert sand
Help me carve a path through storm and stone
So they’ll walk unbroken
Never alone
[Bridge]
The violin weeps
Its strings unwind
A song of wisdom
Echoes of time
The wolves will howl
The skies will cry
But fathers watch from the mountain high
[Chorus]
Fathers
Give me the strength to be
Who I must
Who they need to see
Forgive me when I stumble and fall
Guide my voice
Let me hear your call
