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

We're 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
I'll 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

I'll 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
