Family Man (Unplugged)

I really can't deny that the very first time
I opened my eyes, I saw you in my life
Then I heard you speak the very first words in my ear
Like a secret lullaby

You watched us grow from ten centimetres to a hundred
And a little bit more
Every year that flew by like an aeroplane
Much faster than the walks on the curbs

It's always been you through every single time
I'm not right in the head
I've written out every artery
Till my blood ran dry again
And I swear every fight was a step to something so much better
And the pen leaked on the paper as you pieced back up the letters

You grew up from a little boy in a village
To the strongest man we know
Swept through currents with a spirit
That could never bring you down
And we know how much you went through
And we know how lucky we are to have you

Never did we live life in greyscale
The colours, we didn't need to imagine
At the same time, you saw through my disguises
I used in the done damage
We'll never forget how you drop everything
Just for the people you love
And that's exactly how much in return
That you really deserve

You grew up from a little boy in a village
To the strongest man we know
Swept through currents with a spirit
That could never bring you down
And we know how much you went through
And we know how lucky we are to have you

A wife and daughters aren't all there is to make a family man
It's the late night talks and midnight drives and boyband songs we sang
But you are all of those things and so much more

Nothing is ever stronger
Than the feeling I get when I can say
I am my father's daughter
