(Oh, yeah)
(We lift our hands for the steady hands)
Early morning light hits the floor
He’s heading out through the kitchen door
The weight of the world upon his frame
But nobody knows, nobody calls his name
He gives his strength, he gives his best
Putting the family before his rest
With calloused hands and a quiet prayer
He’s building a bridge through the thin air
Oh, for the fathers who stand in the dark
Who light up the path with a hidden spark
Unseen soldiers in a silent war
Giving so much, yet wishing for more
Yes Lord, we see you, we know your grace
In the tired lines upon your face
You are the heroes, standing tall
The forgotten pillars, catching the fall
When the shadows grow and the bills pile high
He swallows the pride and he masks the sigh
He’s the shield in the wind, the roof in the rain
Bearing the burden to hide the pain
But when the glass breaks and the errors show
It’s the father’s fault, that’s all they know
Yet he keeps on pushing, he keeps on line
Waiting for a harvest that’s truly divine
Oh, for the fathers who stand in the dark
Who light up the path with a hidden spark
Unseen soldiers in a silent war
Giving so much, yet wishing for more
Yes Lord, we see you, we know your grace
In the tired lines upon your face
You are the heroes, standing tall
The forgotten pillars, catching the fall
Heaven sees the sacrifice (Praise Him)
God knows the weight you carry (Hallelujah)
Though the world forgets your name
Your legacy is written in the flame
Don’t lose heart, don’t lay it down
You’re wearing a heavy, invisible crown
Thank You Jesus for the ones who fight
Turning the darkness into the light
So tonight let us honor the men who stay
Walking the hard and the narrow way
For every sacrifice you’ve made unknown
You’re never walking that road alone
Grace is sufficient, strength is renewed
In the quiet acts of gratitude
Rise up fathers, be strong and free
God is the anchor of your family
Oh, for the fathers who stand in the dark
Who light up the path with a hidden spark
Unseen soldiers in a silent war
Giving so much, yet wishing for more
Yes Lord, we see you, we know your grace
In the tired lines upon your face
You are the heroes, standing tall
The forgotten pillars, catching the fall
You’re the forgotten heroes (Glory)
Still standing, still providing (Amen)
We see you, Father (Thank You Jesus)
We see you, and God sees you too.
(Yes Lord, praise Him)
