Did You Make It Safe

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Myrtle Beach, the summer air Music playin' everywhere Wasn't lookin' for a thing Just a song my heart could sing Then a stranger crossed the floor Gentle eyes I can't ignore Hennessy and honest grace Saw my soul behind my face [Chorus] "At least let me know you made in" Words that broke right through my skin Somebody finally cared to know Somebody held me soft and slow Oh, the love I never knew Started right that night with you [Verse 2] Day in, day out, you carry weight Build a kingdom, never break Through the pain you still stand tall Proudest daddy of them all Teachin', grindin', showin' up Pourin' from a half-full cup Derek, baby, can't you see All that strength still lives in me [Chorus] "At least let me know you made in" Words that broke right through my skin Somebody finally cared to know Somebody held me soft and slow Oh, the love I never knew Started right that night with you [Bridge] "Good, better, best, never let it rest" Your daddy's words still in your chest Like Simba lookin' in the stream He lives in you, he lives in them [Verse 3] Derek, take a breath, my love You don't have to rise above Lay some weight down on my chest I'll be here while you take rest See your children's smiles, their pride That's your daddy's heart inside You are wanted, you are seen My Superman, my everything [Chorus] So I'll text you, "Are you safe?" Let me rewrite all your pages Somebody's finally here to know Somebody'll hold you soft and slow Oh, the love that grew so true Derek, all of me, for you [Outro] Happy Father's Day, my king You're the song my heart will sing You're not alone, not anymore That's what all this love is for
