TD Jakes - Thanks For Staying lyrics

[Verse 1:]

When a shooting star falls

All the world looks in awe

It seems so amazing

but falling stars don't shine

They have no place in the sky

We forget about the ones still hanging

[Chorus:]

Falling is easy

Standing takes strength

You have remained my star

And I want to thank you for staying

And not leaving for

Never taking the easy way out

For loving and always showing me

What being a father is all about

[Verse 2:]

I see you everywhere

You're the old man in a chair

Sharing his wisdom

You're the coach and the teacher

You're the hero and leader

For ever will apply who you are

And what you've done

[Chorus]

And you never left me though you could

And just like a mountain, you have stood

I'm holding onto maybe

Cause you stayed forever

You have remained my star

And I want to thank you

I want to thank you

Thank you for never leaving me

For loving and always showing me

What being a father is all about

For loving me

Always showing me

What being a father is all about

What a father is all about

What a father is all about
