Hey Dad It's Me

about

I wrote this for a Father's Day event at the church we go to. A lot of people seem to have been touched by this song, though it's also been the target of the most savage bit of review criticism I've ever had. See what you think.

lyrics

HEY DAD IT’S ME

Hey dad it's me
thanks for giving me life
thanks for holding my hand
when it's dark at night
hey dad it's me
hey dad it's me, yeah.

Hey dad it's me
it's good when you are at home
thanks for stoking the fire
thanks for keeping us warm
hey dad it's me
hey dad it's me, yeah.

Hey dad it's me
thanks for being my friend
I like the stories you tell
could I have that one again?
hey dad it's me
hey dad it's me, yeah.

Hey dad it's me
it's nice to know that you care
I'm glad that I am your child
I hope you'll always be there
hey dad it's me
hey dad it's me, yeah.

Well you tuck me into bed
and you turn out the light
we say a prayer
and we say goodnight.
