Son, your father's not all good.
Still, I love you more than I thought I could.
And when the menace in my mind
Finds me, I simply look to your eyes.
And boy, someday I hope I do
See the man you will grow into,
And when you heart's in disarray,
Know that your father too has made mistakes.
Son, your father's lost his head.
Still, I mean every word that I've said.
Though the truth can truly cut
Here in this confessional with my blood.
Boy, someday I hope I do
See the man you will grow into,
And when you heart's in disarray,
Know that your father too has made mistakes.
I've been cruel to the ones who have stayed by my side,
And foolish enough to believe in my pride,
But vanity never could keep me from caring for you.
I've strayed too far away from the trees and the lake
The innocent road that I choose not to take.
But still I can bring you to bathe in the river
To wash out the world long before your heart's withered away.
Boy, someday I hope I do
See the man you will grow into,
And when you heart's in disarray,
Know that your father too has made, he's made mistakes.
