My Father Gave It To Me

My father gave it to me My father was a good man God rest his soul My father was the best father; But one day he got old He loved his family In a kind and gentle way My father is no longer with us He gently slipped away. He gave me something That I will proudly wear There is nothing like it And none can compare I will wear it with pride Because I am free I will wear it with dignity Because my father gave it to me I will keep it polish And pass it to my son And he will wear it proudly Until the day is done I will do my best to let everyone see That my father loved and passed it on to me Many years have come and gone Since my father slipped away I hope he is proud of me Because I wear it proud today Father I thank you for trusting me with The most important thing in your life I promise to protect it And always treat it right Now I have a son father; And I will do the same Thank you always father; we Proudly wear your name
