[Intro]
Hey Aaron, it's Daddy
Give me a call when you get a chance here buddy
I ain't nobody to talk to now, what the hell is going on
Call me buddy, bye

[Verse 1]
Bringing back the memories, you know you were the first to hold my hand
Hard times you put in front of me gave me all the strength to be a man
All I wanna be is half of you, give me that side from him
You told me that freedom's in our truth, tell me where I begin

[Pre-Chorus]
Where are you going, can't understand
Don't want you to be alone, send you off but can't let you go
Where are you floating, where does this end
I just wanna meet you there
Papa, I'mma meet you there

[Chorus]
You were my champion
You were my champion
Always run the race, always had to chase
Leave 'em in the dust when they wave that flag
You were my champion
[Instrumental]
I love you, Dad
I love you, Dad
I love you, Dad
I love you, Dad

[Verse 2]
Running into memories, remembering the day you saved my life
Pulled me out of tragedy, drawn to the dark but you see the light
All I wanna do is stop this hurt, give me one sign tonight
All I wanna put time in reverse, back when it was you and I

[Pre-Chorus]
Where are you going, can't understand
Don't want you to be alone, send you off but can't let you go
Where are you floating, where does this end
I just wanna meet you there
Papa, I'mma meet you there

[Chorus]
You were my champion
You were my champion
Always run the race, always had to chase
Leave 'em in the dust when they wave that flag
You were my champion
[Instrumental]
I love you, Dad
I love you, Dad (champion)
I love you, Dad
I love you, Dad
I love you, Dad

[Chorus]
You were my champion
You were my champion
Always run the race, always had to chase
Leave 'em in the dust when they wave that flag
You were my champion

You were my champion
You were my champion
Always run the race, always had to chase
Leave 'em in the dust when they wave that flag
You were my champion

[Instrumental]
I love you, Dad
I love you, Dad (champion)
I love you, Dad
I love you, Dad
I love you, Dad
