My Dad's better than your Dad
Cos my Dad came here with nothing
To a country where he didn't speak the language
And to in-laws that didn't even want him
My Dad's better than your Dad
Cos he never let that hold him back
He carried his entire family on his back
Built our entire foundation from scratch, look
My Dad's better than your Dad
Cos my Dad showed us the way
Through all his actions and everything he'd say
I'd never thought I'd ever see this day
My Dad's better than your Dad
Cos my Dad told us he loved us
Gave us responsibilities cos he trusts us
A pure soul that was living here amongst us, Dad

Why did you go?
For way too long
Did you hear my song?
Did you read my poem
Where did you go?
Could it be my fault?
Was it me that's wrong?
Could you come back home?

Your Dad's better than My Dad
Your Dad came to your open evenings
He wasn't working every day of the week
So you'd only ever see him
Sometimes on the weekend
Your Dad's better than My Dad
Your Dad never raised his voice
Your Dad bought you ever single toy
Your Dad never once got annoyed
Your Dad's better than My Dad
Cos your Dad never got ill
You never had to read your Dad's will
Your worst nightmare never came real
Your Dad's better than My Dad
Cos you ain't had to shed tears
Your memories aren't his best years
Your Dad's better cos he's still here

Why did you go?
For way too long
Did you hear my song?
Did you read my poem
Where did you go?
Could it be my fault?
Was it me that's wrong?
Could you come back home?

If nothing ever really dies
What happened to the love that my Dad gave my Mum
Can you see it in my eyes?
My Dad wasn't perfect he was just a man
It's because of him that I'm everything I am
It's the timing that I'll never understand
But if it's God's plan then my trust is in his hands

Why did you go?
For way too long
Did you hear my song?
Did you read my poem
Where did you go?
Could it be my fault?
Was it me that's wrong?
Could you come back home?

Could you come back home
