he was a man like a mountain
i was a little girl
who wanted only
to climb and sit on his lap

i was a little girl
he was a man like a mountain
who could break me
with just his voice

he was a man who was driven
i was a little girl
striving for perfection
hungry for attention

i was a little girl
he was a man who was driven
to provide me with more
than he ever had

i was a little girl
he was a man with power
chasing dreams
determined to succeed

he was a man afraid of feeling
i was a little girl
wondering what was wrong with me
lost in the shuffle

i was a little girl
he was a man afraid of feeling
hiding his emotions
symbolizing strength

he was a man, only human
i was a little girl
who had an idea
of what a dad should be

i was a little girl
he was a man, only human
doing the best he could
to be a father
