Am I just a father?
Who am I to them?
A medium in which they came to life
A portal to earth, a passage to love
I want to be more to them
A guiding star, a sheltering sky
A safe haven, where they never say goodbye
A role model, showing them how to fly
A teacher, lighting paths they can't see
A best friend, laughing with them wild and free
A good listener, hearing what they don't say
An observer, watching them shine in their own way
I want to be the light that will shine through their dark days
Who am I to my kids, who would they remember as when I'm gone?
The one who loved them bigger than words can say
I want to be even more than all this to them
The heartbeat they carry, the roots that make them strong

Am I just a father?
Who am I to them?
A medium in which they came to life
A portal to earth, a passage to love
I want to be more to them
A guiding star, a sheltering sky
A safe haven, where they never say goodbye
A role model, showing them how to fly
A teacher, lighting paths they can't see
A best friend, laughing with them wild and free
A good listener, hearing what they don't say
An observer, watching them shine in their own way
I want to be the light that will shine through their dark days
Who am I to my kids, who would they remember as when I'm gone?
The one who loved them bigger than words can say
I want to be even more than all this to them
The heartbeat they carry, the roots that make them strong
Loving my future kids and God bless all the great fathers
