You spent all these years workin' raisin' me up
Sometimes it was tough, but we had enough
You taught me to laugh said a smile'd keep me young
To live strong and love cause love is enough
The years rolled by fast like the clouds in the sky
I'd give half my heart to know you're by my side
I'm on my way and I need you to say that you're watching me
I'll be okay I'm just breakin' away
Up over the mountains and seas
And I need you watchin'
I need you watchin'
You'd play your 12-string and I'd dance around
Oh what a sound, us singin' aloud
Out by the graveyard you taught me to drive
Felt like I could fly with you by my side
Now time is a match burstin' bright like a spark
The flame burns out fast then it's cold and it's dark
I'm on my way and I need you to say that you're watching me
I'll be okay I'm just breakin' away
Up over the mountains and seas
And I need you watchin'
Oh I need you watchin'
I need you watchin'
I need you watchin'
Oh I thank God for you
I'm a child of all his good graces
My brother, my sisters, everyone I remember
I see you in all of their faces
Oh, Daddy
I'm on my way and I hope and I pray that you're watchin' me
I'll be okay I'm just breakin' away
Over the mountains and seas
I'm on my way and I need you to say that you're watching me
I'll be okay I'm just breakin' away
Up over the mountains and seas
And I need you watchin'
Oh I need you watchin'
I need you watchin'
I need you watchin'
You taught me to laugh said a smile'd keep me young
Just live strong and love cause love is enough
