Pete

[Verse 1]
Some things in this world were meant to be
A love that starts and never leaves
Two hearts so young, just sixteen years old
Finding something worth more than gold
A hand to hold through every storm
A place that always feels like home

[Chorus]
You are the rock we stand upon
The steady beat when the world moves on
Through every prayer, through every tear
Forty years and you're still right here
With faith and love that never bends
My forever, my best friend

[Verse 2]
You gave us four with hearts like yours
And nine more reasons to thank the Lord
Pete, you carried us when we couldn't stand
With calloused palms and gentle hands
You worked so hard, never missed a day
Still showed up with love in every way

[Chorus]
You are the rock we stand upon
The steady beat when the world moves on
Through every prayer, through every tear
Forty years and you're still right here
With faith and love that never bends
My forever, my best friend

[Bridge]
Pete, you literally saved my life
Held me together through the darkest nights
Every single moment, you were there
A living answer to my prayer

[Verse 3]
From that hallway back in high school days
To grandkids running, calling out your name
You built a family on devotion and grace
The kind of man no one could replace
Pete, the strongest heart I've ever known
Because of you, we've never been alone

[Chorus]
You are the rock we stand upon
The steady beat when the world moves on
Through every prayer, through every tear
Forty years and you're still right here
With faith and love that never bends
My forever, my best friend

[Outro]
Happy Father's Day to my everything
The greatest love this life could bring
