Country song - Fathers Don't Cry

Lyrics You taught me how to build a wall, with steady hands and stone You taught me how to stand up tall, and how to stand alone You never showed a single crack in the fortress of your pride Just a quiet strength, with nothing left to hide You were the anchor in the storm, the calm within the fray You were the man who'd say, "It's fine," and wipe my tears away. And the rule was always written, though it was never said A silent, sacred promise that you carried in your head... 'Cause fathers don't cry, they just turn to steel They hide the hurt so the world can't feel the things they really feel They carry the weight, they bear the cost, they hold the family line And tell you everything's okay, with a voice that says they're fine They're the mountain that won't crumble, the oak against the sky Yeah, everybody knows... that fathers don't cry. I saw you face the bankers, I saw you face the drought I saw you face the doctors when the hope was running out You took the blows in silence, a fighter in the ring And never let me see the pain the punches had to bring You taught me courage wasn't loud, it was a quiet, steady hand The lonely, thankless burden of being a better man. And the rule was always written, in the language of your eyes Beneath the calm acceptance, behind the brave goodbyes... 'Cause fathers don't cry, they just turn to steel They hide the hurt so the world can't feel the things they really feel They carry the weight, they bear the cost, they hold the family line And tell you everything's okay, with a voice that says they're fine They're the mountain that won't crumble, the oak against the sky Yeah, everybody knows... that fathers don't cry. But I was standing in the doorway, the winter light was grey You were holding that old photograph from nineteen-ninety-eight You thought that you were all alone, you didn't see me there Just a tremor in your shoulders, a silver in your hair And for the first time in my life, I saw the waters rise... A single, perfect, silent tear rolled from your tired eyes. And fathers do cry, when they think no one's around They let the steel all melt away without a single sound They carry the weight, they bear the cost, and then in fading light They let a lifetime's worth of love and pain just finally take its flight And the mountain can crumble, the oak can bend and sigh... 'Cause I saw it with my own eyes... ...fathers do cry. Yeah... fathers do cry.
