🎸 "My Arms Will Always Be Open"
What can a father do when his child walks away…?
With anger in his eyes, and nothing left to say.
I bowed my head low, gave my sweat and my time,
Built a roof to protect him, gave him peace to call “mine.”
But it wasn’t enough… now my heart’s torn apart,
Chased by the silence that breaks me in the dark.
So I pray to God, with all I’ve got inside,
To hold him, protect him, and stand by his side.
And if I was wrong… Lord, show me the way,
Give me the words I need, to say…
Even if he hates me… he’ll always be my son,
My love doesn’t vanish, not for anyone.
If he ever comes back, I won’t ask him why,
My arms will always be open… to tell him: you will always be my son.: Forever, For ever.
Now I know that time meant more than the things,
More than the house, the car, or shiny dreams.
A day at the park, a book by the bed,
Were treasures I missed while chasing status.
No manual was handed when I took him home,
Just a heart full of love… learning alone.
God, I’m begging now, from the edge of despair,
Pour your wisdom on us, breathe love in the air.
I’m breaking down, I can’t stand the pain,
Only You can lift me again.
Even if he hates me… he’ll always be my son,
My love doesn’t break, no matter what he’s done.
And if one day he hears Your gentle voice,
Tell him I’ll be waiting… he’ll always have a choice.
To come home…
And if he never turns around…
Just let me know he’s safe.
That he’s still breathing, still standing tall…
And if he ever asks, just tell him all…
That even if he hates me… he’ll always be my son,
My love is eternal… can’t be undone.
If he finds the truth, and sees what I see…
My arms and my door will always be…
Wide open… just to say…
I love you, son.
Forever, come what may.
