My Daughter, My Light

I was walking through the valley, shadows heavy on my soul,

Lost the fire I once carried, couldn't find my way back home.

Every day felt like a battle, every night a deeper fall,

But then I heard her voice beside me, the sweetest sound of all.

My daughter, my light, you pulled me through the night,

When the darkness tried to claim me, you held my hand so tight.

You believed when I was broken, you saw the man inside,

Now I'm standing tall again, with you right by my side.

She never judged the weakness, never turned her face away,

Her laughter was a sunrise that broke the clouds of gray.

She reminded me of purpose, of the father I could be,

Her faith became the anchor that set my spirit free.

My daughter, my light, you pulled me through the night,

When the darkness tried to claim me, you held my hand so tight.

You believed when I was broken, you saw the man inside,

Now I'm standing tall again, with you right by my side.

I thought I'd lost it all, but love refused to bend,

She showed me where the road begins, not where the story ends.

Now every step I'm taking, I take it strong and true,

For the man I've become, and the gift I found in you.

My daughter, my light, you pulled me through the night,

When the world had left me empty, you filled my heart with life.

You believed when I was broken, you saw the man inside,

Now I'm living proof of love, with you right by my side.

Yeah, I'm rising from the ashes, no more running, no more hide,

I'm a father, I'm a fighter, with my daughter by my side.
