David Burns - Sweat & Blood

He rarely is the first one to speak
He takes his time to come out with his peace
His thoughts aren't accidental or first
Once he starts, he never minces words
Often speaks the loudest through his hands
Diligence and hard work are his stance
Till the job is done, he doesn't rest
But sometimes how he feels is a guess
His love is not always obvious
Even when he feels just as much
He doesn't have a mother's touch
A father's love looks a lot like sweat and blood
He is the anchor in my hardest choice
The conscience in my head is in his voice
His actions tell me what he thinks is true
'Cause he is who he is through and through
His love is not always obvious
Even when he feels just as much
He doesn't have a mother's touch
A father's love looks a lot like sweat and blood
His love is food on the table
It's a legacy enabled
It's the chance for me to thrive from what he's done
It's every time I shake a hand or give my word to take a stand
It's how I learn to give my sweat and blood
Mmm-ohh
Someday when his legacy is mine
Was he a good man? I must decide
To wear his shoes or trade for different ones
Either way he makes who I become
His love is not always obvious
Even when he feels just as much
He doesn't have a mother's touch
A father's love looks a lot like sweat and blood
