There were times when we had nothing but the hope in his eyes
'Cause Daddy's will held us together
But then again, Daddy's will
I moved up to Nashville where I'm livin' out my dreams
He sacrificed unselfishly so our dreams could be fulfilled
Got a sister on the west coast, another who lives back east
He sacrificed unselfishly so our dreams could be fulfilled
But then again, Daddy's will
Determined he would make a better life for us all
His spirit went unbroken and his faith was never tried
'Bout how hard it is raising kids and were reminded of those times
He sacrificed unselfishly so our dreams could be fulfilled
But then again, Daddy's will
I won't forget the summer Daddy passed away
Determined he would make a better life for us all
But we all stay in touch these days talkin' on the line
It said, our family fortune lies within our hearts
Then our eyes filled with tears but no one fell apart
But Daddy's will held us together
Daddy's will held us together
Determined he would make a better life for us all
Mama opened up the safe and read the will he made
