Derrell

I walk an old school road, taking it stride by stride

Got a quiet kind of loyalty, got nothing to hide

I hold it down for the family, I don't complain or break

Just a stoic man carrying whatever it takes

I lean on the lessons from when I was a child

When the waters run deep and the weather gets wild

I lift up my head, I let my spirit run free

'Cause I know that God hasn't forgotten me

Lord knows He hasn't forgotten me

They told me back then, Derrell, you gotta stand tall

Wisdom is a steady hand when the heavy rain falls

So I built a foundation, roots deep in the ground

I'm the anchor of the house when the storms come around

I lean on the lessons from when I was a child

When the waters run deep and the weather gets wild

I lift up my head, I let my spirit run free

'Cause I know that God hasn't forgotten me

Lord knows He hasn't forgotten me

Sometimes a quiet man carries the heaviest load

Sometimes it's hard to see the light at the end of the road

But I look up to the heavens, feel the sun on my face

I'm still standing right here, wrapped up in His grace

I lean on the lessons from when I was a child

When the waters run deep and the weather gets wild

I lift up my head, I let my spirit run free

'Cause I know that God hasn't forgotten me

Yeah, Derrell, He hasn't forgotten me

Thank God, He hasn't forgotten me
