A Soldier's Heart at Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of strong In the men who hold us up Who pour their whole heart out And never empty their own cup The kind who serve their country Then come home and serve their kin With a steady hand and gentle eyes And honor deep within [Chorus] Here's to the giver, the steady, the true Here's to the love that carried us through A soldier's heart, a father's grace A home built warm in every space Today we celebrate you [Verse 2] Thirty-two years he wore the green For a freedom we still hold Now he's home, retired, and shining With a heart of solid gold He'd give the shirt right off his back To a stranger in the rain Oh Darryl, you're the kind of man That makes love feel like home again [Chorus] Here's to the giver, the steady, the true Here's to the love that carried us through A soldier's heart, a father's grace A home built warm in every space Today we celebrate you [Bridge] On one knee in the living room December made us new Four kids you've loved with all you have And one looks down on you A boy in heaven holds your name He's proud of all you do Watching every step you take Forever loving you [Verse 3] From 2019 to forever Through the ups, the downs, the climb Salty air and ocean sunsets You're my favorite place and time A son above, three here below Who know your love is true Darryl, you're a father, husband Hero through and through [Chorus] Here's to the giver, the steady, the true Here's to the love that carried us through A soldier's heart, a father's grace A home built warm in every space Today we celebrate you [Outro] Darryl, oh Darryl This song's for you Today we celebrate you
