Thank you F

Title: Higher Than the Sky
Verse 1
He grew up in a quiet house of rules and steel,
Where words were few but expectations real.
His father’s eyes were hard like winter rain,
And love was something never said or explained.
No “I love you” before the lights went low,
Just lessons on how a strong man should grow.
The bar was high, higher than the sky,
And the boy kept climbing, never asking why.
Chorus
He ran through life with a silent scar,
Trying to reach wherever the standards are.
Every step, every broken try,
Just a son reaching for a father’s pride.
Verse 2
Years went by and the boy became a man,
A student learning life as best he can.
One wild night with friends in the city glow,
Laughing under lights that burned down low.
But shadows came from the other side of the street,
A crowd of trouble marching to a heavy beat.
Three times their number, anger in their eyes,
The night turned dark under broken skies.
Verse 3
A friend was cornered, fear in his breath,
And something inside the boy refused to step back.
One punch flew through the cold night air,
Straight to the teeth of the man standing there.
The hit was hard, it knocked him from his feet,
But the teeth cut deep in the boy’s own skin.
Blood in his hand, pain in his bones,
Sirens and stitches in hospital rooms.
Chorus
He ran through pain with a silent scar,
Still chasing where the standards are.
Every fall, every broken try,
Just a son reaching for a father’s pride.
Verse 4
Two in the morning he walked through the door,
The house was quiet like nights before.
But the kitchen light was burning bright,
His father waiting in the middle of the night.
Eyes full of worry he tried to hide,
Hands trembling though he stood with pride.
And for the first time the boy could see
The fear in his father’s eyes for him to be free.
Tears appeared though no words came through,
But in that silence the boy finally knew.
Love doesn’t always shout or show,
Sometimes it’s worry you never know.
Final Chorus
He ran through life with a silent scar,
Trying to reach wherever the standards are.
But that night he saw behind the wall,
A father’s heart after all.
Outro
Now the boy stands stronger than before,
Understanding what those hard years were for.
And though the words took years to show—
Thank you, Dad.
Now I know.
