father

son, this is your father calling
I know you don't know my voice
years have past and there are two boys
I've changed their diapers and I've seen them cry
I’ve held them as they fell asleep
and realized just the other night
that I missed you growing up, all those years
I know I can't erase the painful past
son, can't you love me through these tears
you're no longer a little boy
I can be your friend
but you're still a little boy inside
and I can be your friend
this life can be a hard one to live
I'll be there 'till the end
if you'll have me 'till the end

father, this is your son standing
right in front of you
I can see through the tears
I'll never get back those years
but we've still got many to come
I see the way you father my brothers now
and I'm proud to be your son
I wouldn't trade you in for anyone
yes I'm proud to be your son
yes I know father that I am a little boy
deep inside this man's shell
this life can be a hard one to live
I'll be there 'till the end
will you be there 'till the end
with you as my guide, by my side,
I'm sure we'll both do well
son, this is your father calling
I know you don't know my voice
