Description

In My Father’s Arms

[Verse 1]

Tiny hands

Wrapped in your coat

I could hear your heart

More than the words you spoke

You held me close

So I wouldn’t shake

In that faded hallway

You were my safe place

[Chorus]

You were the arms around my world

The steady ground beneath the storm

Teaching me to speak with care

To look folks in the eyes

Stay warm

You filled my plate

You mended seams

Said

“Tell the truth

And stand up straight”

You turned those simple

Everyday things

Into the person that I became

[Verse 2]

Shiny shoes

Pressed Sunday shirt

You’d fix my crooked collar

Brush the dust and dirt

Homework spread

Across the kitchen light

You spelled out bigger futures

Till the answers felt right

[Chorus]

You were the arms around my world

The steady ground beneath the storm

Teaching me to speak with care

To look folks in the eyes

Stay warm

You filled my plate

You mended seams

Said

“Tell the truth

And stand up straight”

You turned those simple

Everyday things

Into the person that I became
