Dad Down On His Knees

He thought of their first kiss…underneath that maple tree
Then reached into his pocket…and got down on one knee
She never hesitated…she knew the love they had
Just a few years later…they’d be my mom and dad.

With tinker toys and Lego blocks…he’d get down on his knees
We’d build a mighty pirate ship…and sail the seven seas
As I grew older…he was dad and so much more
What I wouldn’t give…to be back there on that floor.

Ordinary people can be heroes in disguise
He looked like Superman through a young girl’s eyes
I owe him everything I am…and everything I’ll be
No one ever stood so tall as dad down on his knees.

Daddy always told me life was just a leap of faith
But that lesson was forgotten…through the years I lost my way
Till I heard him praying…asking Lord could you please
Help my daughter know Your love…and join me on my knees.

Ordinary people can be heroes in disguise
He’ll always look like Superman through this woman’s eyes
I owe him everything I am…and everything I’ll be
No one ever stood so tall as dad down on his knees.

I owe him everything I am…and everything I’ll be
No one ever stood so tall as dad down on his knees.
