DAD, I CAN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU HAD TO DIE,
AND THIS ONE LITTLE WORD THAT KEEPS HAUNTING ME
IS MY QUESTION OF... WHY?

I SEARCH THE DEEPEST OF OCEANS 
AND THE BLUEST OF SKIES,
BUT THAT ONE LITTLE WORD REMAINS IN MY MIND
MY QUESTION OF... WHY?

I HAVE ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES
OF A MAN THAT WAS UNTOUCHED,
A MAN THAT NEVER SHOWED HIS PAIN,
AND SOMETIMES HAD PROBLEMS THAT WERE SOMETIMES TO MUCH

A FATHER THAT HAD RESPECT BY ALL
AND A HEART MADE OF GOLD,
A FATHER WHO WAS DEEPLY LOVED,
AND HARDLY LISTENED TO WHAT HE WAS TOLD

A MAN THAT WAS STRONG
AND SOLVED ALL HIS FEARS, ALONE,
A MAN WHO NEVER HURT HIS PRIDE,
AND FOR THAT HE WAS BUILT OF STONE

I CAN STILL SEE HIM SMILING
AND TELLING ME WHAT TO DO,
BUT NOW HE WILL NEVER KNOW,
HOW MY HEART HAS TURNED SO BLUE

HE ALWAYS CARED FOR OTHERS
AND PUT ALL HIS PAIN ASIDE,
HE HAD A GOOD WAY OF HIDING,
ALL HIS PAIN INSIDE

HE WAS A MAN TO STRONG TO SHOW OTHERS HIS PAIN,
HE WAS THE ONLY MAN WITH A MISSION TO ALWAYS HAVE
SOMETHING TO GAIN

HE COULD MAKE OTHERS LAUGH,
AND BRING OUT A SMILE
BUT NOW NO MORE LAUGHING IT'S JUST PLAIN DENIAL

I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO SEE MY DAD AGAIN,
CAUSE LIKE I TOLD YOU,
HE WAS TRULY MY BEST FRIEND

I WANT HIM TO KNOW THAT 
I'M NOT MAD AT HIM IN MY HEART,
'CAUSE ALL THE MEMORIES I HAVE, 
NO ONE WILL EVER TEAR APART

DAD, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT I LOVE YOU 
MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW, 
AND I PROMISE TO BE GOOD,
AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT OUR FAMILY 
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM LIKE YOU WOULD
