Lyrics:

                                                  
More Than A Mentor       
R Pisanello, A Topel

V1
When I burst into the kitchen, after my first schoolyard lickin’ 
He bought boxing gloves and showed me what to do
He watched every game I pitched in, there was nothing he was missing
And believed in me so someday I might too
PC1
Looking back on life he’s been my biggest fan
And God, words can’t express the way I feel about this man
 
CH 
He’s my compass and my North star
My constant guiding light
He’s my beacon in the darkness   
A pillar in the night                      
It’s his selfless, steadfast, giving heart      
That beats on strong and tender
And his sacrifice and love that make this man      
More than a mentor

V2                                          
When I found love he assured me that I picked the perfect girl
And he stood beside me on my wedding day  
His wisdom helped me raise our kids, and I thank my lucky stars
‘Cause without him life would never be the same

CH 2
He’s my compass and my North star
My constant guiding light,   
He’s my beacon in the darkness   
A pillar in the night,                       
It’s his selfless, steadfast, giving heart      
That beats on strong and tender,
And his sacrifice and love that make this man      
More than a mentor
  
BRIDGE 
Tonight we sit in quiet as the embers burn down low,
Soon our fire will be ashes and Amen,
I wrap a blanket ‘round his shoulders as he drifts off with the glow 
God, please take care of this kind and gentle man

CH 3
He’s my compass and my North star
My constant guiding light   
He’s my beacon in the darkness   
A pillar in the night                     
It’s his selfless, steadfast, giving heart      
That beats on strong and tender
And his sacrifice and love that make this man      
More than a mentor
