Seeking raindrops

Hoping to find the rainbow

Until it stops

Realization hits with a hard throw

Take charge of dreams

Hoping it won’t become nightmares

Still shadows take over by all means

I wake up gasping for air

Keep following things that’s supposed to turn out great

Until it all blows up, like happiness isn’t a part of my fate

It’s like chasing eternity

Until confirming there really isn’t any

DADDY

You’ve always had my back,

Holding me up when the enemy tries to attack

You catch me when I’m falling

And help me to rise again

You love me no matter where I’ve been and what I’ve done

Even when I know I’ve failed, you always make me feel like I’ve won

You’re my light when there’s darkness all around

I know that I’m going to be safe and sound

Daddy you’re hardworking, affectionate and kind

A love like yours is rare, very hard to find

When the entire world is against me I know I could turn to you

You dust away the pain of yesterday, making me feel brand new

So many times I’ve come short

You however still hold me closely to your heart

Daddy your love can’t be compared to none

You truly are a million in one
