I watched the fireworks explode
And from your shoulders I could see a different world.
No lies. No hate. No fear. No pain.
Just flashes of blue and yellow flame.
I smiled, you smiled. Our smiles convened.
How am I the product of this man?
I watched the sun rise on his skin.
I felt the warm touch of his hand.
Father I hope you understand
that I'd been running from your eyes but now I'm coming back again.
Calendar pages hit the floor. Counting the date, the years before.
Sons become men. . .
'til I'm not your little one anymore.
And the Winters past? Now I see a face in the mirror's glass
Reminding me to slow down.
Can my early grave. . .
And I can't handle the weight
How am I the product of this man?
I watched the sun rise on his skin.
I felt the warm touch of his hand.
Father I hope you understand
that I'd been running from your eyes but now I'm coming back again
I don't want to be here. I don't want to be here alone.
Father it's been too long. Take your son's hand and walk me home.
