Steps
She sat on those steps everyday
Waiting for him to come back home after work
He was never late
Until that one day
He never came
And those steps were never empty
At 5:30 at night
That girl never stopped waiting
She just kept holing on
To the hope and belief
That her daddy would come
And meet her there
On those steps
Little girl six years old
Wondering where her daddy is
And why he's not comming home
He mom tried to explain it
But she didn'y believe
Cause her daddy was bigger than
Everything
And those steps were never empty
At 5:30 at night
That girl never stopped waiting
She just kept holing on
To the hope and belief
That her daddy would come
And meet her there
On those steps
Prom night she sits down
Starts to talk about
Her boyfriend her dress
How nervous she is
And how she's so happy
He taught her to dance
And how she wishes he were there
To see her off
Those steps were never empty
At 5:30 at night
That girl never stopped waiting
She just kept holing on
To the hope and belief
That her daddy would come
And meet her there
On those steps
That little girl is all grown up now
About to leave the house now
And those steps
She sits down
5:29 it's about time now
And she realizes
That those steps are gonna be empty now
Every time 5:30 comes around
So she sits there and waits
One last time
Tells her daddy that she never gave up hope
That he would come back home
And meet here there
On those steps
