That's My Dad - Steven Curtis Chapman

That’s my dad

Third from the left, second row

With a smile on his face and a hole in his heart

Where a dad of his own should go

And a hardworking mom raising his big brother and him

The best way she knows

But he’s gonna figure it out

'Cause that’s my dad

That’s my dad

Kneeling underneath the old oak tree

Sayin' «God, you know I’m a mess

And that girl would be the best gift you could ever give me»

Now he fixes cars, sings and picks a guitar

Does whatever it takes to get the ends to meet

Soft heart and calloused hands

That’s my dad

I watched him make mistakes and I heard him say «I'm sorry»

And I watched him make a stranger feel like a good friend

And if you ask he’ll be the first to say he’s far from perfect

But still if you ask me who my hero’s always been…

That’s my dad

That’s my dad
