(A Father's Pledge) The Edge

I stand on the edge of this concrete mountain
Watching the people below
I’m finding it hard to contain this pain
I just hope it doesn’t show
I need to find something to stop me falling
Keep myself together “for better or worse”
The thought of you keeps me stalling
Knowing I should have always put you first
I remember the day you were born
The day I found meaning for “Unconditional Love”
You are so beautiful, that’s for sure
I know your mum would be proud, watching you from above
Because I couldn’t be any more proud if I tried
I will always be there for you, always be true
you truly are the apple of my eye
I'll always pick you up when you’re down, or feeling blue
i will do my best to be there to watch you grow
When you reach your teens, and beyond drinking your first beer
So maybe I should just let you know
Whatever happens,
I will always be here
