Lyrics

HEY FATHER

Hey father, what?s your line?
I heard it growing up a thousand times
Be faithful, be strong, don?t argue, don?t cry
and don?t chase your rainbows in the sky

Trying to break down the stone walls,
that surround your heart so no one can get through
All my life I?ve seen your kingdom growing cold,
and a man lose himself in the power of the throne

Hey father, I?m doing fine,
but this surface conversation ain?t worth my time
Go deeper, at least try, to love me, now don?t lie
Watch me soar tonight, like a Phoenix from the flames

I?ll fly high beyond your stone walls
to a place where all the sunlight can get through
but if you asked me I?d gladly come back down
and help you heal the wounds from your thorny crown
Trying to break down the stone walls, etc. etc.

Hey father, it?s getting late,
this is my last attempt to change our fate
Go deeper, at least try, to love me, now don?t lie
Watch me soar tonight like a Phoenix from the flames

I?ll fly high beyond your stone walls
to a place where all the sunlight can get through
but if you asked me I?d gladly come back down
and help you heal the wounds from your thorny crown
Trying to break down the stone walls, etc. etc

Refrain: Hey father (spoken)
