“Dreams of a Father”
by Scott McGuire
Lyrics
Verse 1
He steps out on a midnight street
Cool fall air, leaves at his feet
The neighbors see him walking alone
Carrying weight he’s never shown
A shooting star cuts through the sky
He makes a wish as it passes by
Pre-Chorus
For a house filled with laughter, a fire that’s warm
A family together through every storm
Chorus
He just wants peace in the home
Love that lasts, a place they can grow
Grounded in faith, steady and true
The dream of a father, he’s building it through
Verse 2
Some nights the weight won’t let him sleep
The promises he’s sworn to keep
Tired eyes but a steady hand
Doing his best to be a faithful man
Hoping God smiles when He looks down
On the life this father’s building now
Verse 3
No riches, no glory, no fleeting crown
Just love that’s rooted, passed down
Step by step, day by day
He builds the dream in quiet ways
Final Chorus
He just wants peace in the home
Love that lasts, a place they can grow
Grounded in faith, steady and true
The dream of a father, he’s living it through
