Matthew West - Looking Up Lyrics

Daddy was a preacher

the man I wanted to be

no he didn’t wear a cape and he couldn’t fly

But he was a hero to me

Even heroes are human

But there’s one thing I always knew

the whole time I was looking up to him

He was looking up to you

Now I’m somebody’s daddy

got two beautiful girls

they look at me like they think I hung the moon

and I feel the weight of their world

when I don’t know how to lead them

So, lead my every move

cuz I know those eyes looking up to me

That’s why I’m looking up to you

I don’t wanna take a step unless you lead it

I don’t wanna speak a word unless you breathe it

God I’m looking up, keep me looking up

Looking up to the light I know will guide me

And I pray everyday you find me

Find me looking up, always looking up

To you

I’ve been working my whole life

To stand up on this stage

in front of a crowd under the bright lights

yeah but one thing have changed

I used to dream of the day it was my name

That everybody knew

Now I know that I led me here to leave em

Looking up to you
