A Song For Papa Doc

[Verse 1]
You teach with a steady hand
You move like a prayer in the room
Every word got weight and grace
You make hard days bloom

You lead with a quiet fire
You hold it down with care
And when the world gets loud and cold
You keep us rooted there

[Pre-Chorus]
And I love our long talks
When the night runs deep
We trade these thoughts like treasures
While the whole world sleeps

We both wore that long road
Research, real pain, real joy
Two educated minds in sync
Still learning, still poised

[Chorus]
God fearing man, yes you are (yes you are)
Great in your love, great in your heart (great in your heart)
Father and leader, you shine so far (shine so far)
I’m so grateful for who you are (who you are)

[Verse 2]
You show up as a father
With patience in your hands
You listen to our voices
And you help us understand

You carry your house with honor
You bless what you have built
Even in the hardest seasons
You stand in faith, unshaken still

[Pre-Chorus]
And I love our long talks
How you see the world
From the scholars to the family
You know your worth, my world

We both know the cost
Of the calling we chose
Two doctors speaking truth to truth
And the river just flows

[Chorus]
God fearing man, yes you are (yes you are)
Great in your love, great in your heart (great in your heart)
Father and leader, you shine so far (shine so far)
I’m so grateful for who you are (who you are)

[Bridge]
You are calm in the storm
Strong in the line
Faith in your bones
And wisdom in your eyes

You make me better
By the way you care
I thank God for your spirit
And the love we share

[Chorus]
God fearing man, yes you are (yes you are)
Great in your love, great in your heart (great in your heart)
Father and leader, you shine so far (shine so far)
I’m so grateful for who you are (who you are)
