Lyrics

[Verse]
He was a soldier in a distant land,
Carried courage and a rifle in his hand,
Fought for freedom under skies so gray,
Sent his love in letters every other day.

[Verse]
Came back home to the Tennessee hills,
Swapped his gun for a crane and paid the bills,
Built the skyline from dawn to dusk,
In the sweat and grime, he'd put his trust.

[Chorus]
Oh, Dad, your spirit's in the wind,
In every crane, in every bend,
Though you're gone, your love remains,
In our hearts, your story reigns.

[Verse]
On Sundays, he was all about the grill,
Laughs and stories, time stood still,
A family man with a gentle heart,
Knew how to mend the deepest scar.

[Verse]
Taught me values, taught me grace,
With calloused hands and a weathered face,
Told me life’s a journey, not a race,
Guided me in every place.

[Chorus]
Oh, Dad, your spirit's in the wind,
In every crane, in every bend,
Though you're gone, your love remains,
In our hearts, your story reigns.
