Sedgwick

I used to listen from the hallway, Dad

Catching the wisdom you’d share with your friends

You never knew I was soaking it up

Taking those lessons to where my story begins

Your tough love shaped the woman I am

Taught me to work hard and know my own mind

I still smile thinking 'bout "Ebony Eyes"

How you'd rush to record the video, hitting rewind

Sedgwick, you're the light I want to be

It took a single dollar, but God brought you back to me

No resentment in my heart, I know you fought for your girl

I understand the hidden battles that you faced in this world

I thank the Lord it wasn't too late to start anew

I'm so blessed to write this second chapter with you

You always tell me that you're far from perfect

But you’re a beautiful example in my eyes

You speak life into my spirit every day

I see how God has made you gentle and wise

Thank you for giving me the space to grow

To parent my own children with the kindness you show

I want your grandkids and great-grandkids to see

The strength and the faith that you're passing to me

Sedgwick, you're the light I want to be

It took a single dollar, but God brought you back to me

No resentment in my heart, I know you fought for your girl

I understand the hidden battles that you faced in this world

I thank the Lord it wasn't too late to start anew

I'm so blessed to write this second chapter with you

I know you did your best to try and save me

I know you fought for me through all those silent years

We can't go back and change the pages we lost

But you don't have to spend a single day in fear

As long as we keep God first and trust in His way

I know we're walking into our better days

Sedgwick, you're the light I want to be

It took a single dollar, but God brought you back to me

No resentment in my heart, I know you fought for your girl

I understand the hidden battles that you faced in this world

I thank the Lord it wasn't too late to start anew

I love you endlessly, Dad... I'm so glad I found you
