everymann - Those Big ol' Shoes Lyrics

Swear to your own hurt
And change not
Pretty is Is pretty does
Your word is your bond
Do unto others as you would
Have them do unto you
An open home to those in need
Friends and strangers always received
They broke bread at our table
Your example made me able
To become the man that I want to be
Papa, with you by my side
In your love I still confide
Grief and gratitude collide
In my heart where you abide
Even though your time has passed
Your loving light will always last
Flowing from the heart of everymann
Your actions spoke
Louder than your words
You taught me how to be what I deserved
Your wisdom left its mark
Shining bright, in all this dark
For my children and my grandchildren to learn
I always wanted to be a dad like you
In your steps, I try to follow through
If you were ever proud of me
A glimpse of you is what you'd see
I was only trying to fill those big ol' shoes
Papa, with you by my side
In your love I still confide
Grief and gratitude collide
In my heart where you abide
Even though your time has passed
Your loving light will always last
Flowing from the heart of everymann
Your actions spoke
Louder than your words
You taught me how to be what I deserved
Your wisdom left its mark
Shining bright, in all this dark
For my children and my grandchildren to learn
I always wanted to be a dad like you
In your steps, I try to follow through
If you were ever proud of me
A glimpse of you is what you'd see
I was only trying to fill those big ol' shoes
Papa, with you by my side
In your love I still confide
Grief and gratitude collide
In my heart where you abide
Even though your time has passed
Your loving light will always last
Flowing from the heart of everymann
I always wanted to be a dad like you
In your steps, I try to follow through
If you were ever proud of me
A glimpse of you is what you'd see
I was only trying to fill those big ol' shoes
Papa, with you by my side
In your love I still confide
Grief and gratitude collide
In my heart where you abide
Even though your time has passed
Your loving light will always last
Flowing from the heart of everymann
