From underneath, I wanted you to see the first thing that I ever poured my heart intoYou'll never know the pain that I've been throughI'm not so sure you'll ever knowAnd so I'll make you understandThe words that built my life were not from you, but from my father's handDo you remember that cold day in December?Leaving everything you knew behindI may never know how it feels to stand beside youWhen I need some directionAnd I may never know what it's like to see you smileOr know you'd be proud of meFrom underneath, I promise to erase the pastAnd let my heart forgive the former youReplace the dark of old and start brand newI never thought I'd see the dayI walk toward the end of life and turn the other wayI'm reaching out to take my father's handDo you remember that cold day in December?Leaving everything you knew behindI may never know how it feels to stand beside youWhen I need some directionAnd I may never know what it's like to see you smileOr know you'd be proud of me
