The Rock Beneath the Wave

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There are quiet men who move the world, Without a single boast or word. They walk through storms and steady stand, A compass held in calloused hands. Forty-two years of faithful skies, The kind of love that never lies. [Chorus] You're the rock beneath the rolling wave, The light inside the darkest day. A father's heart, a soldier's grace, Love that time cannot erase. Through every season, every storm, Your arms have kept this family warm. [Verse 2] He flew into the hurricane, Through wind and thunder, fear and rain. But softer still, the love he gave To Shane and Tracy, Nolan too, A father's love, steady and true. Rich Woodford, the name they knew. [Chorus] You're the rock beneath the rolling wave, The light inside the darkest day. A father's heart, a soldier's grace, Love that time cannot erase. Through every season, every storm, Your arms have kept this family warm. [Bridge] Now we're walking through our own gray skies, Holding hands, we'll harmonize. Whatever comes, whatever's near, I'll be your strength, my Richard dear. [Verse 3] Forty-two years and I still see The bravest heart in front of me. You chased the wind, you read the rain, You loved us through the joy and pain. And every child who calls you Dad Knows the finest love they've had. [Chorus] You're the rock beneath the rolling wave, The light inside the darkest day. A father's heart, a soldier's grace, Love that time cannot erase. Through every season, every storm, Your arms have kept this family warm. [Outro] Happy Father's Day, my Rich, My steady sky, my truest wish.
