An early riser, always on timer

A back breaker, giver not a taker

Made sure nothin' was missin'

So we could have everything you didn’t

A patient teacher, strong steady leader

Firm hand shaker, never met a stranger

Tough as steel, heart of gold

It took a while, but now I know

All the little life lessons

But you never expected

A thank you, a pat on the back

You did what you did, no questions asked

I could never say enough through the downs and the ups

You carried the weight so we’d have a good life

Raised us with love so we could fly

Anyone else would call you Superman

But I just call you dad

A spirit lifter, problem fixer

Words of reason, there when you need em’

Calm you down, set you straight

Yeah, I appreciate

All the little life lessons

But you never expected

A thank you, a pat on the back

You did what you did, no questions asked

I could never say enough through the downs and the ups

You carried the weight so we’d have a good life

Raised us with love so we could fly

Anyone else would call you Superman

But I just call you dad

I just call you when I’m lost, when I’m empty

When I need a little help

Whenever I get good news

You’re the first one I wanna tell

So I wanna thank you, give you a pat on the back

For doin' what you did, no questions asked

I could never say enough through the downs and the ups

You carried the weight so we’d have a good life

Raised us with love so we could fly

Anyone else would call you Superman

And I am the 'man' that I am

Because I call you dad
