Hero

[Verse 1] I’ve watched your hands build more than walls, You’ve built a life, you’ve heard the calls. From Patrick and Tommy, your first two boys, To stories shared and backyard toys. Brittany and Tyler, you took right in, You loved them deep, through thick and thin. You didn’t have to — but you chose to be, The man they needed — strong and free. ⸻ [Chorus] You’re my hero, their dad, and a Papaw, too The heart of this house, the roots, the law. Through scraped-up knees and late-night cries, You’ve been the calm, the reason why. And when they look up with eyes so wide, They see a man who never hides. From love, from truth, from standing tall — You’re our hero… their dad and Papaw too. ⸻ [Verse 2] Four more souls you brought home to stay, Brooklynn, Breanna, Kaeleigh, Raelynn — hooray. Not just a father, but their safe place, You gave them laughter, strength, and grace. You never count by b***d or name, Your kind of love treats all the same. You’ve filled this home with legacy— Of what a real dad’s meant to be. ⸻ [Chorus] You’re my hero, their dad and Papaw too. The one they trust, the one they draw. From Jackson’s smile to Nirvana’s cheer, Knox and Ace love when you’re near. Margo dances, Abi beams, Crue and Jovi chase their dreams. Baby James and Cartier too — All say, “Papaw, we love you.” ⸻ [Bridge] They run to you with hearts so full, Because your love is strong and real. You’ve given more than most men do — And every day, we’re proud of you. ⸻ [Final Chorus] You’re my hero, their forever guide, The arms they trust, the light inside. With every hug, and every call— They know you’ll catch them when they fall. Through every child, through every name, Your love burns bright like an endless flame. You’re my hero…their dad and Papaw. Forever loved… by one and all. 💙
