Standing Here

You took my heart from birth
I thought you were the coolest dad on Earth
We went through change
But that’s was the thing
You left me there on my knees
Saying daddy Daddy please, will you come back
But you didn’t come back in time to fix me
Now I am writing rhyme to find what is me
They say, That’s what they say
You save money by spending it,
Like you protect my heart
Protect my heart by beating it.
Now I am standing here, looking for love that’s real
now I am standing here, whoa

I stand here letting go of the dream dad that I once known
The image that played in my head is now dead
For my God has taken your place
By showing me his ultimate grace
He taught me how to love;
Taught me I was enough
He wrapped me in his arm and showed me
Unending love that forever endures. That’s what they say
They say
You save money by spending it,
Like you protect my heart by beating it.

But that is okay, I serve a God who can mend it!
Now I am standing here (x3) Whoa

You took my heart from birth
I tought you were enough
Now I am standing here with my hands up
Praying God save me please
From this broken heart you see
I thought he was enough
But you are enough.

I wrote this song after my Dad had just called and canceled plans with me. He always lets me down and I decided that I should write instead of being angry...Here is the result.
