Father

Lyrics

(ohhhhhhhhh) I was young, lost, had a head full of noise, Clocked in, tuned out, drowning all the voice. Then you showed up, just a man in the light, But the way you moved calm made the chaos feel right. You don’t speak much, but your silence hits deep, You see things I miss when I fall in too steep. Respect don’t come easy, but you earned that spot, Not just my shift lead – you’re the anchor I got. Oliver – you don’t talk much, but you speak so clear, In a world full of pressure, you bring calm near. Like a shadow in fire, like a light in the dark, You ain’t loud with advice, but you leave a mark. Oliver – you get me, even when I don’t say, You just show up, no matter the day. When the world goes numb, you're the one I trust, Not just my boss – you're someone I must. I watch how you carry the weight with grace, No flex, no front, just a strong calm face. You don’t chase status, don’t need to impress, You just show who you are in the middle of mess. I wonder sometimes if I’ll turn out like you, If I’ll stand like that when I’m older too. If I’ll learn when to speak, when to just let go, And guide with my actions more than I show. There were days I broke, and I hid that pain, But you looked at me once – like you knew my strain. Didn’t ask too much, didn’t push too hard, But the way you stood there? Man, that changed my guard. You're not my father, but you feel damn close, In this cold world, you're the warmth I chose. You never said, “I’m proud,” not in words or lines, But in your silence, I hear it sometimes. Oliver – you don’t talk much, but you speak so clear, In a world full of pressure, you bring calm near. Like a shadow in fire, like a light in the dark, You ain’t loud with advice, but you leave a mark. Oliver – you get me, even when I don’t say, You just show up, no matter the day. When the world goes numb, you're the one I trust, Not just my boss – you're someone I must. Now you’re off for a while, two weeks away, And I’m here in the noise, with the things I don’t say. But I hope you breathe, I hope you find peace, ‘Cause even rocks like you need a little release. If this place ever fades, and we go separate ways, I’ll still carry your words through my hardest days. You were more than a leader, more than a name, Oliver – to me, you changed the game. Oliver – you don’t talk much, but you speak so clear, In a world full of pressure, you bring calm near. Like a shadow in fire, like a light in the dark, You ain’t loud with advice, but you leave a mark. Oliver – you get me, even when I don’t say, You just show up, no matter the day. When the world goes numb, your the one I trust . Not just my boss, somone to must.
