Lyrics

Hey Dad, how you doing, are they treating you kindly
Do you know who I am, do you know where you are
Your eyes seem to tell me what your voice cannot muster
That your journey is ending and peace isn?t far

I remember so clearly how strong you would bellow
I wonder if you can remember it too
And now you just sit here so helplessly mellow
A victim of fortune that?s overcome you

And it?s funny how things go around in this lifetime
Now children are caring for you
And as you just stare into some distant mirror
I?ll stay here and stare in it too

I?d sound all the trumpets I?d beat all the drums
I?d sit with the devil to get through to you
A mind full of kindness and loving devotion
Is now just a prisoner of silence so true

And to say that we loved you is to little solace
For all that you?ve given, for all that you shared
And now that a child has come back within you
The child that you fathered will always be there
