The Day My Daddy Died
The day my daddy died
I didn't weep, I didn't cry
No river welled up in my eyes
On the day my daddy died
You said your last goodbye
Passing with peaceful sigh
Crossing over to a better life
As you said your last goodbye
A rainbow in the sky
Like a sign you left behind
As you soared onto the other side
There was a rainbow in the sky
You taught me how to fight
To turn a wrong into a right
How to live and finally how to die
Yes. You taught me how to fight
Freedom was your life
And in that freedom I will thrive
I honor all the love you left behind
Freedom was your life
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
The day my daddy died
I didn't weep, I didn't cry
But now, the river runs when I call to mind
The day my daddy died
