A Gentle Giant's Fire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some men leave a mark so deep It echoes long beyond their years A steady voice that taught us strength A hand that always dried the tears With roots that stretched from Norway's shore To the land that stole his heart [Chorus] A warrior as gentle as an Angel Who carried more than we could know One lung, one life, a fire that never faded Dad, your light still guides us home Your light still guides us home [Verse 2] He'd say stand on your own two feet Then show you how it's done He loved his country, loved his flag And mourned the brothers lost and gone Cruising slow on the Hudson River Talking till the stars came out [Chorus] A warrior as gentle as an Angel Who carried more than we could know One lung, one life, a fire that never faded Dad, your light still guides us home Your light still guides us home [Bridge] I miss those evening calls from far away Your honest voice could turn my darkest day You taught me do what's right when no one's looking And I carry every word you'd say [Verse 3] A gentle giant with a name worth holding I'll pass it down just like you planned To sons who'll learn what honor really means Because they'll know where it began You made me feel so loved, Dad And that's the greatest thing a man can leave behind [Chorus] A warrior as gentle as an Angel Who carried more than we could know One lung, one life, a fire that never faded Dad, your light still guides us home Your light still guides us home [Outro] So I'll stand on my own two feet And keep your name in honor, Dad Your light still guides us home
