From underneath
I wanted you
To see the first thing that I ever poured my heart into
You'll never know the pain that I've been through
I'm not so sure you'll ever know
So I'll make you understand the words that build my life
Were not from you but from my Father's hand

Do you remember
That cold day in December
Leaving everything you knew behind

I may never know how it feels to stand beside you
To hold your hand
Where I need some direction
And I may never know what it's like to see you smile
Like I need
Or know you'd be proud of me

From underneath
I promise to
Erase the past and let my heart forget the former you
Replace the dark of old and start brand new
I never thought I'd see this day
I'd walk toward the end of life and turn the other way
I'm reaching out to take my Father's hand

Do you remember
That cold day in December
Leaving everything you knew behind

I may never know how it feels to stand beside you
To hold your hand
Where I need some direction
And I may never know what it's like to see you smile
Like I need
Or know you'd be proud of me
