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
Forever will applaud who you are
And what you've done

[Chorus]

And you never left me though you could
And just like gibraltar, you have stood
I'm who I am today
Because you stayed for love
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
