Through The Fire For Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some men walk through fire and never look away Some men stand like mountains at the break of day A uniform, a steady hand, a heart that never quit The kind of strength that shapes a soul and never loosens grip [Chorus] Here's to the man who taught me how to stand Who held this whole world steady with his two bare hands A voice I still hear calling through the years Dad, your love still lives right here [Verse 2] Summer nights beneath the lights, the crack of every bat Cold bleachers and hot dogs, I'd give the world for that You'd holler "Go Phillies" like a prayer into the sky And I believed in everything just standing by your side [Chorus] Here's to the man who taught me how to stand Who held this whole world steady with his two bare hands A voice I still hear calling through the years Dad, your love still lives right here [Bridge] You made me feel like I could do anything Safe inside a world your courage built And every lesson that you left with me Is a fire that never wilts [Verse 3] You ran toward the flames when others turned to go A veteran, a hero, but you never let it show You just showed up for bedtime, showed up for the game And now I carry forward every letter of your name Dad, the bravest man I knew Everything I am traces back to you [Chorus] Here's to the man who taught me how to stand Who held this whole world steady with his two bare hands A voice I still hear calling through the years Dad, your love still lives right here [Outro] So I'll holler "Go Phillies" and I'll whisper to the sky Dad, your legacy is love that never dies
