What You Meant Lyrics

I see the labor on your hands the wisdom on your head,
I watched the way you built our home and kept our family fed,
hardly heard I love you the words were barely said, but I saw what you did, I knew what you meant.

Ohh oh oh I knew what you meant,
Ohh oh oh I knew what you meant,

Set the standard high for me the way you set your own,
Strength can be your weakness when you're going it alone,
I know you want the best for me I know that's your intent,
I heard what you said I knew what you mean,

Ohh oh oh I knew what you meant,
Ohh oh oh I knew what you meant,

I slept through your sermons you slept in torment, faithful in your calling so members came and went,
you could fix anything but you could't fix the cancer,
you lost your parents no one had the answer,
I expected sorrow Heaviness from it but all I got was Silence and I knew what you meant,

Ohh oh oh I knew what you meant,
Ohh oh oh I knew what you meant,
Ohhhh oh oh
Ohh oh oh I knew what you meant,

You will always be my father but now you are my friend,
I will follow in your footsteps until the sidewalk ends,
Your life will be my anchor buried in cement and I will show my children they will know how much you meant.
