Father Sing


I am a child
But I am growing, changing
Training my thoughts to be
I am the seed encouraged to dream
And nourished with food from your heart

I want your love
I want to know who you hate
And why
I want everything good and bad
All of you, inside me

Father sing
The song that still makes me cry
From years ago
When you sang to a little girl
You sing to me still
With a voice so loud and strong
Father though you are gone
You remain with me

You protect me
You make me aware
That the love inside these walls
Won‘t always exist outside
My symbol of strength all powerful in my life
Disappeared
And I cried

But I remember
The first music I ever knew
I hear your voice
I feel you here.
