hawk nelson - from underneath lyrics

from underneath i wanted you
to see the first thing that i ever poured my heart into
you ll never know the pain that that i ve been through
i m not so sure you ll ever know
and so i ll make you understand the words that built my life
were not from you, but from my father s hand

do you remember that cold day in december?
leaving everything you knew behind
i may never know how it feels to stand beside you
or take your hand when i need some direction
and i may never know what it s like to see you smile back at me
or know you d be proud of me

from underneath i promise to erase the past
and let my heart forgive the former you
replace the dark of old and start brand new
i never thought i d see the day
i walk toward the end of life and turn the other way
i m reaching out to take my father s hand
