Lyrics
[verse]
Little one, I know the nights have been so long
I know you hear the shouting through these paper-thin walls
I promise you this ain't the way it's always gonna be
I'm working every day to give you something better than me
I know we moved again, I know the school's not the same
I know you miss your friends and I take a little blame
But every sacrifice I make is stacking up for you
So one day when you're older, you'll see the reasons through
[chorus]
Daddy's gonna hold you when the thunder comes around
Daddy's gonna find you even when you don't make a sound
I know the world feels heavy, I know the storm feels near
Just close your eyes, my darling, daddy's always here
[verse]
I remember rocking you to sleep on the hardest nights
Whispering it's gonna be alright under dim porch lights
I never had the things I wanted you to have as a kid
So every single dollar that I make, I make it for you, kid
I know I'm not around as much as I wish that I could be
But every show, every mile, it's all for you and me
One day you'll understand the weight I carried on my back
One day you'll see the love in every road I had to track
[chorus]
Daddy's gonna hold you when the thunder comes around
Daddy's gonna find you even when you don't make a sound
I know the world feels heavy, I know the storm feels near
Just close your eyes, my darling, daddy's always here
[bridge]
Someday you'll have your own kids and you'll understand
Why daddy worked so hard with these two tired hands
It was never about the money, it was always about you
Everything I ever did, I did it to see you through
[chorus]
Daddy's gonna hold you when the thunder comes around
Daddy's gonna find you even when you don't make a sound
I know the world feels heavy, I know the storm feels near
Just close your eyes, my darling, daddy's always here
