From underneath I wanted you to see the first thing   That I ever poured my heart into   You'll never know the pain that I've been through   I'm not so sure you'll ever know and so I'll make   You understand that words that filled my life   We're not from you but from my fathers 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'd walk toward the end of life   And turn the other way, I'm reaching out to take my fathers 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
