Lyrics
Title: My Daddy Died
Chorus: I never thought that I would see my daddy die
And have it hurt so bad
I never thought that I would see the day my daddy died
And have it hurt my heart so bad
Verse1: I rested my mind on a dream the other night where I saw myself
I saw myself walking
While I was walking a preacher was talking
Talking bout my relationship with my father
I thought to myself why bother I have no father
But I felt so wrong for feeling that way and thinking that way
He slowly pointed to a large casket to his right
I took flight
As I came up to the box there was a man inside
Who looked like an older version of me
But wasn?t me
Verse 2: The crazy thing is that though not present my daddy taught me the most
In my life
He taught what kind of man not to be
Taught me what I got to be
I got to be strong
I have to live long
Live a God worshiping life
Stay true to my kids and wife
