It’s not easy sittin’ still when your backside starts to hurt
Stuck between mom and daddy at Sunday morning church
I can’t begin to count the hours I spent in that old pew
It was hard and unforgiving but without it I would be too

Daddy taught me wrong from right with a stern and calloused hand
Never once apologized said one day I’d understand
Looking back I can’t believe all the hell I put him through
Thought he was hard and unforgiving but without him I would be too

When I got down I learned to look up
Ask for more strength when times got tough
Even I could I wouldn’t change a thing 

They taught me when to take a stand, 
When to let go, be the bigger man
And that a kind word doesn’t cost anything
It’s amazing what a little grace can bring

Standing strong and tall two others by its side
That blood stained cross held his arms open wide
It wouldn’t let him down it had a job to do
It was hard and unforgiving but without it I would be too

That cross was hard and unforgiving 
But without him I would be too
