Every Step Of Way

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ladies and gentlemen, we see you here With work-worn hands and a steady cheer You showed up early, you stayed so late Held the whole world up by a dinner plate [Pre-Chorus] When the road got rough You made room for grace When she lost her nerve You said, "Go, take your place" [Chorus] Every step of the way You were there, you were there Every step of the way You carried love in the air For the girls you raised You made a safe front row Every step of the way That’s how real fathers show [Verse 2] From scraped-up knees to the first big stage You cheered her on through the fear and age At the school doors, in the rain, in the sun You made her feel like she’d already won [Pre-Chorus] When the world said stop You said, "Try once more" You were the kind of strength She could lean on for sure [Chorus] Every step of the way You were there, you were there Every step of the way You carried love in the air For the girls you raised You made a safe front row Every step of the way That’s how real fathers show [Bridge] To the dads in the room, take your praise It lives in the brave hearts you helped raise In every laugh, in every dream You’re the steady hand behind the scene [Final Chorus] Every step of the way You were there, you were there Every step of the way You carried love in the air For the girls you raised You made a safe front row Every step of the way That’s how real fathers show
