You Done the Opposite

[Verse]
You sit there quiet
Hands worn thin
Your stories linger
Your face wears a grin
Every step you took
Every wrong you made right
You built a home
Not just a place for the night

[Chorus]
Dad
You haven’t let anyone down
You done the opposite
You wear that crown
Every stumble
Every fall
You made it count
The weight you carried
No one could surmount

[Verse 2]
You taught me to whistle
To mend a fence
To love the wild
To make some sense
You gave me your time
Though the days ran lean
You’re the backbone
The steady unseen

[Chorus]
Dad
You haven’t let anyone down
You done the opposite
You wear that crown
Every stumble
Every fall
You made it count
The weight you carried
No one could surmount

[Bridge]
It’s not in the words
It’s not in the deeds
It’s the quiet way you planted the seeds
And here we stand
The forest you grew
Every branch strong
Every leaf true

[Chorus]
Dad
You haven’t let anyone down
You done the opposite
You wear that crown
Every stumble
Every fall
You made it count
The weight you carried
No one could surmount
