Love Is So Rare

like a tiny seed
firmly in the soil
nurtured with a love i think
so rare
givin room to breathe
givin time to see
its now so clear to me
you were there
you were there

when i was just a flower
afraid out in the forest
hiding from the shadows all alone
i knew you'd be along
my faith in you was strong
like our favorite song
to lead me home
you led me home

and with each changing season
though i grow a little stronger
rising up to touch the open sky
and if i gave you a reason
not to hold me any longer
you gave me thousand reasons why

you are my steady oak
standing tall and strong
protecting me with everything you have
and i know deep inside
i would not have survived
without you by my side
oh and i
i love you dad
