I built our home with bleeding hands

Laid this brick with love and plans

You were my light, my reason why

Now I just talk to an empty sky

I am still waiting at the door

Where your laughter lived before

Every night I whisper low

Come back home don’t let me go

But silence is all I know

You wore your cap, I fixed you tie

Watched you chase your dreams and fly

I gave you wings, I stayed behind

But now you’re gone and so is time

I am still waiting at the door

Where your footsteps touch the floor

Even pain begins to fade

But the love it always stays

Still alone, still afraid

I don’t need much, just one more day

To hear you call, to hear you say

Dad I remember who you are

But wishes don’t go that far

So I sing here on this stage

Old and tired full of ache

Not for gold, not for fame

Just to call out your name

Still waiting, still the same.
