“Daddy, What Did You See”
A black and white faded photograph
A little boy with a smile and laugh
Daddy, what did you see
When you took that picture of me
You had me pose on a stone wall perch
In front of an old mission church
Daddy, what did you see
When you took that picture of me
You aimed your camera in such a way
The cross in the sky above my head that day
Daddy, what did you see
When you took that picture of me
Behind the lens that day was there
A father whispering a prayer
For his little boy
How could you know your eyes would see
A snapshot from eternity
Of your little boy
In the shadow of the cross
A little boy in the shadow of
The Savior’s cross and a father’s love
Daddy, that’s what I see
In the picture you took of me
