Father

Where were you when I was born, in that smoke filled room vain of glory?
Carried away stumbling through the booze, left me destined to be counted out.
So as I grew older, love grew harder, trusting no one but my own shoulders
To carry this weight, of a burdened soul, nobody hears me when I'm crying out

Father, father, father where are you now? I've become what you don't see.
Father, father, father where are you now? I've become what I could be.

Now I find myself on the bridge you burned,
My eyes have grown to see this honest truth
A lustful soul could leave me just like you. Oh my loved ones please forgive me.
So I call on my mothers, give me your powers,
Carry me through to see a better light now.
I call on my brothers, give me your powers make me a man who leaves no son crying out

Father, father, father where are you now? I've become what you don't see.
Father, father, father where are you now? I've become what I could be.

Where were you when I was born,
When I found a love that crossed the bridges burned.
It's shown me how to love without the hurt, given me a soul to find a new life.
So here's my weakness, I hope you hear this,
So the tears I've wasted would find their way around.
For you my father this is forgiveness,
I hope you hear me while I'm crying out

Father, father, father where are you now? I've become what you don't see.
Father, father, father where are you now? I've become what I could be.
What I could be.
