A Fathers Message

(Verse 1)

Sitting under this the quiet midnight glow,

Pen to paper, letting all these feelings show.

Carried this weight too long, like my daddy did before,

Demons in the shadows, knocking at my door.

Time’s slipping through my fingers, life’s half gone away,

Don’t wanna face tomorrow with words I couldn’t say.

(Chorus)

My boy, you’re the beat in this broken heart of mine,

I stumbled through the dark, lost so much precious time.

I’m sorry I wasn’t strong enough at times

For the pain I caused when I was weak

But this love runs deeper than any scar I’ve known,

I love you more than these tears could ever show.

(Verse 2)

Like him, I fought battles, love fiercely and try to stand tall,

I carried his lessons through my rise and through my fall.

Yet you grew up stronger, with hearts so kind and true,

Full of integrity and honor—God, I’m proud of you.

All those laughs in the hard times pulled me through the rain,

My boy, you saved this weary soul from going insane.

(Chorus)

My boy, you’re the beat in this broken heart of mine,

I stumbled through the dark, lost so much precious time.

I’m sorry I wasn’t strong enough at times

For the pain I caused when I was weak

But this love runs deeper than any scar I’ve known,

I love you more than these tears could ever show.

(Bridge)

My door’s forever open, arms always waiting here to hold,

Let’s mend these faded fences, turn the hurt to gold.

(Final Chorus)

My boy, you’re the beat in this broken heart of mine,

I stumbled through the dark, lost so much precious time.

I’m sorry I wasn’t strong enough at times

For the pain I caused when I was weak

But this love runs deeper than any scar I’ve known,

I love you more than these tears could ever show.

(Outro)

Im a broken man but still healing… all because of you.

My son… my world, my everything… I love you.
