I don't want to whine

I want to be strong

It's what you told me to do

To be all along

I feel blind I feel dumb

From the world I hide

Their laughs make me numb

It's not enough to say I miss you

Things now are rough

I just need you

My best friend 

My hero

My father dear

Why oh why

Did you go from here

And although I'm lost

And cold without you

I know your at peace

and that you see me too

I'll make you proud

I swear i will

I've always needed you

And I love you still

When you smile down upon me 

From the heavens above

i hope you feel proud 

When you see what I've done

I'll live up to your legacy

Impossible though it seems

I'd give my life

For your eyes to gleam

I have your laugh,

Your smile they say

I swell with pride

And say 'I'm okay'

I'm not of course

But I will in time

You'll see dad

I'll shine

I'll shine
