Letters to Daddy: Title song to an inspirational transformational musical
Well my dad is a fifth grade teacher
And he cares about his kids
He wants them to learn more than what
Some folks in history did
He wants his students to understand
That they are not alone
With the things they struggle and worry about
In school or back at home
Letters to Daddy, Letters to Daddy
Letters to my Dad from his fifth grade class…
So he gave them an assignment
To write about their world
Though he never knew just what it would do
To affect his very own girl (pause)
When you try to learn a lesson
Sometimes you teach yourself
That the world is a reflection
of your character and health
You’ll discover you’re not the only one
To go through stuff that isn’t always fun
In the challenges you get to grow
So open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart
And let your feelings show
Your homework tonight is to write about your life
Ask a question, tell your story
Talk about your hopes and dreams
Your failures and your glories
