Finding My Way Home (Replaced 2)

I was only two years old

Too young to understand

Why the world felt so frightening

Why nobody held my hand

There were words inside a courtroom

Stories no child should know

Of the hurt and pain I'd suffered

Of the places I couldn't call home

The people who should love me

Keep me safe and help me grow

Were the ones who caused the damage

Left me nowhere else to go

The courts had heard my story

The truth had finally been told

And somewhere in the darkness

Two hearts were waiting to hold

Then two men came into my life

With kindness in their eyes

A warmth I'd never known before

A love I couldn't recognise

They opened up their hearts to me

Gave me a place to stay

And when the judge said I could go

My life changed that day

From two years old I found a home

A place where I belonged

For a little while we were a family

And I thought nothing could go wrong

I learned what love was meant to be

What it meant to feel secure

I finally had the childhood

That every child deserves

Chorus

But you're my rock, you're my strength

You're the one who's there through everything

When the world gets dark and I lose my way

You're the light that brings me back each day

You'd carry me up every mountain

Never complain, never let me fall

You're my dad, my hero, my everything

And I know you'll always give your all

I love you, Dad, more than words can say

You're the reason I believe in brighter days

Whatever life may put us through

I'll always know I've got the best dad in you

Verse 1

Then came the second of November

A day I'll never forget

A firework exploded in my heart

A pain I still feel yet

One dad walked away from us

And suddenly things changed

A little boy's world was broken

And nothing felt the same

I didn't understand it

I couldn't make it right

So many questions in my head

So many tears at night

But when one door closed behind us

You never turned away

You stood beside me, held me close

And promised you'd always stay

Verse 2

You fought in every corner

You stood up for what's right

You showed me what a dad should be

My shelter in the night

You never let me feel alone

You never let me fall

You made me feel that I was loved

The most important thing of all

And now we walk along the beaches

With the waves beneath our feet

Eating fish and chips together

Those moments feel complete

Late-night walks beside the sea

The salty air and sky

Walking Romeo through the park

Or watching the hills roll by

And every step reminds me

Wherever I may roam

The greatest gift life gave to me

Was finding my way home

Chorus

You're my rock, you're my strength

You're the one who's there through everything

When the world gets dark and I lose my way

You're the light that brings me back each day

You'd carry me up every mountain

Never complain, never let me fall

You're my dad, my hero, my everything

And I know you'll always give your all

I love you, Dad, more than words can say

You're the reason I believe in brighter days

Whatever life may put us through

I'll always know I've got the best dad in [Bridge]

I didn't choose the life I had

I didn't choose the pain

I didn't choose the tears I cried

Or the nights I felt the rain

But somewhere in that broken world

A miracle came through

I may not have been born to you

But Dad, I was meant to find you

And if I ever climb a mountain

Or find a road that's hard to see

I know you'll be right there beside me

Just like you've always been for me

You didn't have to stay

But you chose to every day

And that's what makes you my dad In every single way

Chorus

You're my rock, you're my strength

My guiding light through everything

You've shown me love, you've shown me how

To be the person that I am right now

You'll carry me up every mountain

You'll never moan, you'll never let me fall

You're the greatest dad this world could give me

And I couldn't ask for more at all

I love you, Dad, more than words can say

And I'll be grateful every single day

You gave me hope, you gave me home

You made sure I'd never walk alone
