FATHERS TRIBUTE - Jim Kilby

{Verse 1}
Father you taught me and you have guided me.
Father you loved me well.
Father you told me that honesty matters and the heart makes a man not his shell.
Father you raised me, then let me go my way.
Dad I forgot to call.
I've been wrapped up in dreams and bill paying schemes... bruised up by lifes little falls.
Now tonight in the mirror, the face that I find.
Is far from a child, it's holding some lines.

*{Refrain 1}
Oh you are my Father and I am your son.
No longer a child... a man I've become
Out far in the distance you still watch me run
You're always my Father, I'm always your son.

{Verse 2}
Now Father I pained you, when I went against you.
Daddy I busted your rules.
Father I know that wisdom grows slow and sons have the wisdom of fools.
Now sometimes I walk like you, sometimes I talk like you, sometimes I think that I'm you.
Oh I've done some leaning on what you believe in
Your proud legacy continues
Oh tonight my shadow, here on the ground
Reminds me of how... your always...your always around.

*{Refrain 2}
Of you are the Father and we are your sons
We're no longer children... now men we've become
and far in the distance you still watch us run.
You're always our Father
Thanks for all that you've done
Oh daddy we love you and that...that's from your son
That's from your sons

I want to Thank you...I am your son
I want to Thank you...I am your son
Thank you
