Daddy was strong and pure and proud
And he walked next to God, unafraid.
Daddy went forth with head unbowed,
never stumbled or stopped or strayed.
Though he no longer walks beside us,
still his footprints are here to guide us.
Daddy was what I hope to be,
and his path will be my path too.
Every step, every day, every inch of the way.
I'll be walkin' like Daddy, talkin' like Daddy,
Doin' what Daddy would do.
