K-dence Alyssa, Ma-Kin-Lee Blake, Michael Zane & Ella Grace, I missed first steps and birthday cakes Schoolyard games and so many other things There were nights you cried and I was gone Lost somewhere I didn’t belong Your Me-ma carried all the weight While I kept wrestling my mistakes And every mile that I ran away Still led me back to you someday I can’t get back the time I lost Can’t undo the hurt it cost But if love still counts for anything Then hear me now, hear me sing I’m here now With these worn out hands and this humbled heart somehow I know I let you down before God knows I hate what I put y’all through and more But I’m sober, I’m standing I finally understand it A father’s love ain’t words you say It’s showing up day after day So if you’ll let me I’ll spend the rest of my life proving I’m here now There were many milestones I missed Empty seats and broken promises I was chasing shadows in the dark While you were growing up with scars And I know your Me-ma carried through Doing what I should’ve done for you She gave you safety, gave you home While I was out there lost alone I don’t ask you to forget And I ain’t asking for no reset Just hoping there’s still room someday For me to earn my place I’m here now With these worn out hands and this humbled heart somehow I know I let you down before God knows I hate what I put y’all through and more But I’m sober, I’m standing I finally understand it A father’s love ain’t words you say It’s showing up day after day So if you’ll let me I’ll spend the rest of my life proving I’m here now Maybe trust comes slow Maybe healing takes time Maybe some wounds never fully unwind But every sunrise from this day on You won’t have to wonder where I’ve gone ’Cause I ain’t leaving anymore I’m here now And I thank the Lord He turned my life around I can’t change the roads behind But I’ll be beside you for the rest of mine Through every hard road, every victory I’ll be there for your memories And when this old world lets me down Your names will still be my solid ground Yeah if you’ll let me I’ll spend the rest of my life proving I’m here now I’m here now… And I ain’t going anywhere again.
