LYRIC FOR SALE

By Dave Laudenslager

Verse 1
He’s not mad, he’s just fighting battles
In a world, that just wants to give him hassles
He shows up in silence, paid the bills without praise
For the family he is trying his best to raise
Verse 2
Now their grown and know more than him
They don’t understand the life he’s led
Their lives too busy, no time to realize
He loved them in ways, they don’t recognize
Pre-chorus
He doesn’t understand what he feels inside
He’s feeling loss, while feeling pride
Raising the ones he can’t live without
To live without him, is it loss or doubt
Chorus
He’s not a perfect man, or a perfect dad
But he tries to be, gives everything he has
Doesn’t always know the right thing to do or say
Prays in silence, for God to show him the way
Bridge
He’s grateful for the life he’s had
Still troubled by the mistakes he’s made
Tries so hard to make amends
Hopes they understand him in the end
Verse 3
He’s grown older and more wise
Struggles with his place in their lives
His sacrifice has become theirs
A love that binds through silent prayer
Pre-chorus
He doesn’t understand what he feels inside
He’s feeling loss, while feeling pride
Raising the ones he can’t live without
To live without him, is it loss or doubt
Chorus
He’s not a perfect man, or a perfect dad
But he tries to be, gives everything he has
Doesn’t always know the right thing to do or say
Prays in silence, for God to show them the way
Outro
His prayers will linger when he’s gone
In their hearts, his love carries on
Every step was path he laid
For their dreams, in silence he prayed
Tag
Perhaps he was the perfect man in the
