Lyrics

I walked with him the other day
He walked along his usual way
I felt the fear an unknown face
He took my hand and I felt safe

I blew the chance we lost the game
He said that's life no sadness no shame
I cried that night I felt alone
He dried my tears, a pain he has known

Then he said
I'll take your hand when you need a friend
I'm there for you till the very end
When you're alone and I'm away
Just look for strength in the words I say

He lay in bed a man alone
The time had come he's on his way home
Accepting fate with style and grace
In heaven now his Father's place

He's close to me I feel him there
He lives in peace no burden to bear
He's there for me in many ways
In lessons learned from bygone days

Those were days
He'd take my hand father and a friend
He'd be with me till the very end
I was alone while he was away
But I'd find strength in the words he'd say

Walked with my child the other day
We walked along our usual way
An unknown fear upon his face
I took his hand so he'd feel safe

My father's hand was there for me
And this my child our fate will be
My father's hand was steady and true
And this my child I'll be for you

Then I said
I'll take your hand when you need a friend
I'm there for you till the very end
When your alone and I'm away
Just look for strength in the words I say
Just look for strength in the words I say
Just look for strength in the words I say
