In a Thousand Ways (Barnes)
Solos to Sing, Submitted Music (1992-1997)
In a thousand ways
My father said, “I love you.”
In a thousand ways
He showed how much he cared.
In his quiet way
He said much more
Than words could say,
For in a thousand ways
My father spoke his love.
Working day by day,
He gave us food and shelter.
Thinking of our needs,
He kept us safe and warm.
Countless are the days
He labored long,
Yet still kept strong.
And through his caring hands,
He gave his heart.
Giving us his time,
He sacrificed for fam’ly.
Seeming not to mind
As he forgot himself.
In his quiet way
He said much more
Than words could say.
For in a thousand ways
He spoke his love.
