Lance Carpenter - I Would Be Too

It ain't easy sitting still when you're backside starts to hurt
Stuck between mom and daddy in Sunday morning church
I can't begin to count the hours I spent in that old pew
It was hard and unforgiving but without it I would be too
Daddy taught me wrong from right with a stern and calloused hand
Never once apologized, said one day I'll understand
Looking back I can't believe all the hell I put him through
I thought he was hard and unforgiving but without him I would be too

When I got down I learned to look up
And ask for more strength when times got tough
Even if I could I wouldn't change a thing
They taught me how to take a stand
When to let go be the bigger man
And that a kind word doesn't cost anything
It's amazing what a little grace can bring

Standing strong and tall two others by its side
That blood stained cross held his arms open wide
Wouldn't let him down, it had a job to do
It was hard and unforgiving but without it I would be too
That cross was hard and unforgiving but without him
I would be too
I would be too
