Lyrics

Celtic Prayer for a Father's Son

I store all sweet memories
Like fireflies in a jar
Our bloodline lights the northern sky
You are the shining star

I stand inside your room
Where once you lived with me
And should I stand so very still enough
Your love comes back to me

Know this my son
I'm so proud of who you are
Whether righteous rebellious
You are the shining star

Take this love I have known
Now, make it your own
It has served me well
Let it lead you home
My blessings to thee
As you journey your endless sea
Wear your name proudly
Your name came from me
Now, make it your own
It has served me well
Let it lead you home
Wherever you roam
Oh shall the light of our memories
Help you seek your way back home

Take this love I have known
Now, make it your own
It has served me well
Let it lead you home
My blessings to thee
As you journey your endless sea
Wear it proudly
That name came from me
Now, make it your own
It has served me well
Let it lead you home
Wherever you roam
And shall the light of our memories
Help you seek your way back home

This is one of the most beautiful father to son love songs that I have ever heard. The honesty of the performance, the choice of words and metaphor blend to make this one of those memorable songs. Hear it once and you'll never forget it. It's so AUTHENTIC! Favorite lyric "righteous/rebellious" - fantastic. Also love: fireflies in a jar/shining star. Great dads love their sons through it all and this song communicates that so poignantly. Every word is crystal clear - great performance. I really love the vocal delivery - this guy has a great voice! There is a tenderness infused with power. The love really comes through.
