The lyrics are written below this video description.

Here's a song I wrote & performed for my dad with the help of my friend, EMATA. My pops had a huge impact on me from a young age & he definitely changed my world musically. I found it fitting to write & dedicate this song to him with a surprise performance in his back yard. Hopefully you'll be able to relate & you have someone special in your life that has impacted or shaped the person you've become as well.

LYRICS

Hey dad,
You probably don't remember all the details like I do, but I do, so I'll remind you
I said dad, you probably don't remember all the details like I do, but I do, so I'll remind you
You the first one who influenced me, musically
Never played an instrument, but didn't have to to teach 
Me about Led Zeppelin your taste was quick eclectic
Garth Brooks, the Rolling Stones, black crows, Def Leopard 
The list goes, but no you weren't into no disco or dancing that was mom
Earth wind and fire, Bobby Brown, Kool in the gang, I would hang in my car seat nodding along, yea..
Anyways, I know you've gotta remember we lived in that house just outside of Denver with the hardwood floors
You were cooking in the kitchen, Tom Petty on the television, singing Free Falling in our shorts 
You remember them drums sticks you kept on up on the kitchen counter? we would beat along to songs on pots and pans and kitchen cabinets
Man it's crazy.. Then you bought me a drum set.. I mean.. hold up. What kind of parent in their right mind buys a 4 year old a drum set. That's some real sacrifice to ears, you know what I'm sayin?

I remember back in the day, I'm talking 5th grade
You pulled me out of school at noon on a Wednesday 
I remember jealousy from kids in my class talkin' bout you've got the coolest dad a kid ever had
I'm like yeah... 
There we were the fam and my pops
On the way to see my very first concert at Red Rocks
The Counting Crows with Hootie and the Blowfish
Way back before anybody knew he was Darius
I'll never forget it, we stood and waited in line 
Those hours felt like days, especially in a kid's mind
But then it was time you always told us stay ready 
And there were hundreds of people up at the gate like a levy
Because it was general admission and we all wanted the front row
You told us be ready to run as soon as them gates open
And then they did and everybody flooded in
I felt like Simba in Lion King the way that the stamped hit
Then it was scary, but now it's just funny
Because you picked me and John up by our shirts and kept running 
And we were laughing, didn't know what happened
But next thing we know we're in the front row chillin' with my Dad
And man it's kinda crazy, littlest things
Can have the biggest effect on inspiring dreams
I said man it's kinda crazy, the littlest things
Can have the biggest effect on inspiring dreams

You know I've learned to make it on my own
You know I love myself, and know I'll never be alone
You know that I'll get everything I want and that I chose
You know that I'm the realist person that you'll ever know
I'll get the pretty girls that's pretty and everything 
Million dollar cribs having million dollar dreams
And when I get it all I'll remember one thing, remember one thing.. 
One man can change the world
One man can change the world
