From Underneath

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 Or take your hand When I need some direction And I may never know what it's like to see you smile Back at me 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 the 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 Or take your hand When I need some direction And I may never know what it's like to see you smile Back at me Or know you'd be proud of me
