Oh, Father

Oh, father, up in Heaven
I wish you to just know
Your life, it was my guide
Your breath, the winds that blow
You taught me how to stand
When fallen, to stand again
You molded me in clay from you
And made me a proud man

Oh, father, up in Heaven
On this day I declare
My love for you, it still exists
And will so, everywhere
I take it with me everyday
Reflect upon it, too
Because you gave me oh so much
I’ll always have love for you

Oh, father, up in Heaven
You’ll always be my dad
The world’s, yes, very best
That anyone has had
I never can be prouder
Than to carry on your way
Oh, father, up in Heaven
Have a Happy Father’s Day
