Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
From the valley roads and orchard rows,
To the pines beneath the sky,
You were always there around dawn,
And the last to say goodnight.
There were little hands and growing years,
Footprints tracked across the floor,
And somehow every season brought
Room for one child more.
[Pre-Chorus]
You taught us that a promise made
Was something worth holding on to,
Not through speeches or grand displays,
But in the everyday things you do.
[Chorus]
You built more than walls,
More than roofs against the rain,
More than fireplaces glowing warm
At the end of a long hard day.
You built a place where hearts could land,
Where roots could grow down deep,
And all these years, through all of life,
That's the gift we get to keep.
[Verse 2]
There were roads that wound through redwood trees,
Long drives and stories on the way.
Wonder hiding around each bend,
Turning ordinary into a holiday.
A workshop humming in the distance,
Steel and sparks against the dark.
And somehow every piece you shaped
Left its mark upon our hearts.
[Pre-Chorus]
You never claimed to know it all,
Never said you solved life's mystery,
But you've shown us how to carry on
With grace and quiet dignity.
[Chorus]
You built more than walls,
More than roofs against the rain.
More than fireplaces glowing warm
At the end of a long hard day.
You built a place where hearts could land,
Where roots could grow down deep,
And all these years, through all of life,
That's the gift we get to keep.
[Bridge]
The years move on, the children grow,
The world keeps changing fast,
But some things stand like mountain stone,
Some things are made to last.
A steady hand,
An open door,
A life spent giving more,
And every one of us can see
What all those years were for.
[Final Chorus]
You built more than walls,
More than anything your hands could make,
You built courage, love, and character
With every chance you'd take.
And though the road keeps stretching on,
And none of us can know
Exactly where tomorrow leads,
There's one thing we all know:
We're stronger for the love you've given,
For the man you've always been,
And if we carry even part of that,
Your work goes on again.
[Outro]
From the oak tree shade to northern skies,
From all the years we've passed,
Thank you, Dad,
For showing us
What it means to be built to last.
