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
