I didn't know why you were angry I couldn't explain your moods I only felt I disappointed you It's sad to know in these later years All we missed is gone All the time we spent together Yet I never knew you well
Now my son is growing older And I often feel the same Struggling to know how to be his dad and not to be afraid Of my failures that haunt me still As I try to make a change A change I hope he sees in me To be his father and Your son
Yet somewhere deep inside of me My compassion for you grows As I've come to know along life's way You were hurting and alone And as we age and the sunset comes I know God forgives us both For our lost and forsaken time To be a father and a son

Yet in God's perfect plan He creates us new each day He loves us as His sons As we forge our legacies The Father of all fathers Gave us His son to know So our lost and forsaken time Could be restored by His blood
Forgiveness is just a breath away As we try to make a change To capture time we lost before As a father and a son
