Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You worked with calloused hands and cried in grace
Built a life with grit you couldn't fake
Did what you could with the cards you drew
And somehow made it all feel brand new
You taught me how to stand, how to speak
How to bend but never break beneath
Now I'm raising kids with your old smile
And I hear your voice every once in a while

[Chorus]
Look at me now, Dad, I hope you're proud
I'm the man I am 'cause you showed me how
Your lessons live in every word I say
In the way I love and the price I pay
You were best friend to your grandkids' hearts
Loved my sister and me from the very start
I'm still chasing dreams with your name in mind
Look at me now, Dad, I’m doing fine

[Verse 2]
You saw my wife and called her your own
Adopted her heart, like she'd always belong
She felt your love in every word and deed
You gave her more than she thought she'd need
We talk about you when the stars come out
They ask if you're watching from the clouds
I say he's the reason I know what's right
And I kiss 'em both and turn out the light

[Chorus]
Look at me now, Dad, I hope you're proud
I'm the man I am 'cause you showed me how
Your lessons live in every word I say
In the way I love and the price I pay
You were best friend to your grandkids' hearts
Loved my sister and me from the very start
You gave my wife a father's grace and vows
Look at me now, Dad, look at us now

[Bridge]
I'll carry your name like a flag in the wind
Through every loss, through every win
You built the road I'm walking on
And I swear I'll keep your spirit strong

[Chorus]
Look at me now, Dad, I hope you're proud
I'm the man I am 'cause you showed me how
Your lessons live in every word I say
In the way I love and the price I pay
You were best friend to your grandkids' hearts
Loved my sister and me from the very start
You gave my wife a father's grace and vows
Look at me now, Dad, look at us now

[Outro]
Yeah
Look at me now
Look at us now
