clayton jennings - dear dad lyrics

Loading...

dear dad, i used to want to be just like you. and i told myself i’d always try to. but at some point i gave up. i was only a kid when i used to see you laid up. multiple sclerosis had you weighed up. but even though it ravaged your body it never took your heart. but there were times as a kid that i could tell it shook you hard. and to be honest it shook us too

i remember whispering to don at night like what should we do? we could hear you moaning in the other room. he’d just tell me not to worry, that’s what big brothers do. the doctors gave you five years but you always managed to pull through

honestly, i just want to hug you. but i’m out here trying to make you proud of me. dad i love you. i hope you can see that you did this to me. every sermon i preach and person i lead, you’re responsible for the best in me

but i know too well that the best of me isn’t all that’s left in me. i carry a lot of pain, not physically like you, but emotional and blue. it’s like i can’t stop thinking i should have had that disease and not you. but then again, it would have crippled me, it doesn’t stop you. but why is it my dad has to battle this demon of death. i promise if this disease was visible i’d cut off it’s head

if i could push back the waters you’re drowning in i’d split the ocean like moses. and you’d land on dry ground and you’d be pain free. i want you to know that it’s your example that saved me
