Holding Us Through the Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of strength In the hands that hold the night The kind that doesn't ask for thanks Just shows up and makes it right Through the long and sleepless hours When the world felt way too wide You were steady as the morning You were always by my side [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a man, what a light Holding us up through the darkest of nights A father, a partner, a heart pure and true Daniel, my hero, I'm thankful for you [Verse 2] From the uniform you carry To the lullabies you sing You're the calm inside the chaos You're the song my heart can bring Across the miles, across the ocean Through the deployments and the rain You made Japan feel like a homeland You made love outlast the pain [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a man, what a light Holding us up through the darkest of nights A father, a partner, a heart pure and true Daniel, my hero, I'm thankful for you [Bridge] I didn't know my heart could grow Till I saw you holding Luca close Two little hands wrapped around your own That's when I knew we'd found our home [Verse 3] Through the blowouts and the laughter Through the midnight feeds we share Every diaper, every story Every whispered bedtime prayer You're the courage I lean into You're the comfort I have known Daniel, you're the kind of father Every child dreams to call their own [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a man, what a light Holding us up through the darkest of nights A father, a partner, a heart pure and true Daniel, my hero, I'm thankful for you [Outro] Happy Father's Day, my love You're the answer to our prayers The steady ground, the open arms The greatest love we share
