The Day My Daddy Died

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
You said your last goodbye
Passing with a peaceful sigh
Crossing over to a better life
As you said your last goodbye

[Verse 3]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
Freedom was your life
And it that freedom I will thrive
I honor all the love you left behind
Freedom was your life

[Choral Break]

[Verse 6]
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
