Step-Up Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a kind of man who shows up every day Steady hands and quiet ways Builds a home with all he gives Loves with everything he is The kind who answers every call Always there to catch the fall [Chorus] Here's to the heart that holds us all The one who stands up strong and tall Through every storm, through every year The love we hold, the love we cheer A father's love, a guiding light The truest gift, the steady kind [Verse 2] Two boys he raised, then two more girls he claimed Same wide arms, the same warm name Kris and Scott, Nicole, Kendra too Every one of them loves you Step-up dad with a step-up heart Loved us all right from the start [Chorus] Here's to the heart that holds us all The one who stands up strong and tall Through every storm, through every year The love we hold, the love we cheer A father's love, a guiding light The truest gift, the steady kind [Bridge] Rick, you gave us everything Now grandkids run and laugh and sing Rosie, Piper, Tony too Carry pieces shaped by you [Verse 3] There's a past so full of love A future we are dreaming of Whatever broke, you'd find the way Mechanic, builder, come what may Patient, kind in all you do Rick, this song belongs to you [Chorus] Here's to the heart that holds us all The one who stands up strong and tall Through every storm, through every year The love we hold, the love we cheer A father's love, a guiding light The truest gift, the steady kind [Outro] Happy Father's Day, our Rick The love you've grown, it always sticks
