I still remember three feet tall
Standing next to you I felt so small
I would've walked a million miles
Just to see you look at me and smile
Would it have been so hard
To give me just a little space
Inside your heart
Cause all I ever wanted
And all I ever needed
Was
Just to hear you say
You are loved my son
To hear you speak my name
And say well done
Well done
Staring at the sky I feel so small
Still you see me underneath it all
You tell me I have never been alone
And that you even named me as your own
You still wear the scars
From when you laid down everything
For my heart
And all that you are giving
Is all that I am needing
Just to hear you say
You are loved my son
To hear you speak my name
And say well done
Well done
You're a father to the fatherless
A hero to the heroless
A savior for anyone who's wanting
Who's needing..
You're a father to the fatherless
A hero to the heroless
A savior for anyone who's wanting
Who's needing..
Just to hear you say
You are loved my son
To hear you speak my name
And say well done
Well done
