It's 4 am, the break of dawn,
I'm struggling to see,
A picture of my father,
A soldier just like me.
I'm hoping it will give me strength,
To follow in his steps,
To sacrifice for freedom,
And serve with no regrets.

Chorus:
I'M JUST MY FATHER'S SON
With a family back home,
I'M JUST MY FATHER'S SON
Facing danger on my own,
Ready to give my life,
To do what must be done,
I don't call myself a hero,
I'M JUST MY FATHER'S SON.

My daddy served his country,
And he earned the purple heart.
He told me he was scared,
But he still did his part.
I'm proud he served the best he could,
And fought with all his might.
He faced his fears and showed me,
That freedom's worth the fight.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Sometimes my family's love is all that holds me up,
And my dreams about tomorrow , they're the stuff that fills my cup.
Then I think about that picture and my Daddy's bravery,
And I pick up that courage that he passed on to me. Cause ...

Repeat Chorus

Tag:
No, I don't call myself a hero
I'M JUST MY FATHER'S SON.
