In the silence of the night
I whisper to the star so bright
A father's heart burdened yet strong
Longing for his child to belong
Oh my little one, can you see
The battle's fought just as you're free
In every tear, in every strife
I pray you'll understand this life
Through the storms and raging sea
I've sailed to provide for thee
Oh
The weary bones and tired eyes
My love for you never dies
Oh my little one, can you see
The sacrifice is made just for thee
In every scar, in every strife
I hope you'll come back
This father's pride
As time marches on its endless flight
May you glimpse the world through my sight
For in this journey of give and take
A father's love will never say
Oh, little one, please believe
In the whispers of the winds I breathe
In every sigh, in every plea
I yearn for you to understand
So here I am
So here I am
Here I stand with heart laid bare
Hoping you'll see
Hoping you'll care
For in this dance of life's embrace
A father's love, a timeless grace
May you glimpse the world through my sight
