Well my dad, I know he meant well
I never heard him say what I needed
I have wishful days where I hope and pray
But there's still one thing that I'm missing

To hear him say
Well done, well done
You're the son I love
You'll always be good enough
[x2]

Well my bride to be I know she'll love well
I know mistakes I'll make will leave her hurting
I'll be miles away and I'll cause her pain
Is my love enough when nothing's certain?

I hope she'll say
Well done, well done
You're the one I love
Even when life gets tough
[x2]

And I'm not useless
And I'm not foolish
It's just the lessons in life
I learn one day at a time

And I'm not useless
And I'm not foolish
It's just the lessons in life
I learn one mistake at a time

When my time has come to say my farewell
I hope the life I leave would be a good one
Stand before the throne of the One who loved
To hear 'My faithful son, life has just begun'

To hear Him say
Well done, well done
The mistakes you've made are buried in my grave

To hear Him say
Well done, well done
You're the son I love
You'll always be good enough
