Story Behind The Song
My next challenge in the Roy Elkins series, "50 songs you should write", floating tempo, and other suggested parameters. Thank you Nadine and Cyndi for allowing me to get this tribute done. Finally.
Sure our respective fathers will enjoy this collaboration during the confinement against Covid-19.

Lyrics
Verse1: Above all he is the one
A fearless force who always dares
He is a Father, a husband, a loving man
Who really cares
Verse 2: So quiet sometimes when he fails
Wondering how to try again
A full of guidance for years
Even from a distance
Chorus: From what I know
He has it all my Father
The Soul of a Hero
Verse 3: For all the decisions that he's made
He has no regret, no sorrow
Only the tears he couldn't shed
Betrayed the toughest man I know
Above all, he is my Hero
Chorus: No need to look for
Any other reference
He's the man I adore
From what I know
He has it all my Father
The Soul of a Hero
Bridge: Why is he departing?
Why is he still smiling?
To the beloved, the treasured ones
To them he gave his very best
Much more than he could ever be
More than he could own
Why is he departing?
Why is he still smiling?
Chorus: No need to look for
Any other reference
He's the man I adore
From what I know
He has it all my Father
The Soul of a Hero
