Milan Revilak - For My Dad Lyrics

When I was brought home for the first time
And looked around at this world so new
I didn't know how to talk or walk
I was me, not knowing I was you

You have shown me your love through sleepless nights
When I needed your help you gave me your heart
You sacrificed willingly for me every day
Worked hard to bring food and taught me to pray

You have shown me that fight can be won without fists
Yhat feelings are real, and that God exists!
That goals are achieved through pain and tears
And that I can conquer all my fears
That patience is not given but rather is learned
And love and respect is something you earn

Those endless games of chess
Music with which you have all of us blessed
You showed me how you cared for your wife
How to raise kids and how to live life

You have shown me that fight can be won without fists
That feelings are real and that God exists
Goals are achieved through pain and tears
That I can conquer all my fears
That patience's not given but rather is learned
And love and respect is something you earn

Now when I look at your wrinkled face
I see my strong dad I want to embrace
For each line is the story of the life that you lived
Pain and laughter and all that you believed

You have shown me that fight can be won without fists
That feelings are real and that God exists
Goals are achieved through pain and tears
And that I can conquer all my fears
That patience's not given but rather is learned
And love and respect is something you earn

You have shown me that fight can be won without fists
That feelings are real and that God exists
Goals are achieved through pain and tears
And that I can conquer all my fears
That patience's not given but rather is learned
And love and respect is something you earn

You are my dad I love you, I do
When I look in the mirror I want to see you
