Father Blues

To feel a father's pride,
Was a fire running under my skin.
No one saw in me, what your eyes could see,
And now that life bends my back
I still carry your belief in me.

I don't know what part you gave me,
But I know I'm your legacy.
I don't thank God,
But I do thank your heart.
Cause life's been tough,
But you taught me how to face it no fear, no shortcuts, just love.

Ohhh Fhater Blues
Today I cry, but I still see you,
You were a father and a friend in this life,
My root, my guide, my shelter from strife.
And now my blues returns to remember
Love never dies, it just learns to appreciate.

Taught me to hear the soul in strings,
His voice was low, like thunder near,
But full of truth I still can hear.
But when the music filled the air,
I swear I saw his heart laid bare.

Family, it all revolves around that.
I stopped calling you dad
When they started calling me that.
And I felt the weight, the grace, the flame
To protect, to teach, to give one name.

You'll never be truly gone,
Cause when I close my eyes, you're in my song.
In this blues that I write,
In every night I break
And pull myself back into the light.

Ohhh Fhater Blues
Today I cry, but I still see you.
Your light in my voice, your will shining through.
The boy I was never let go of your hand,
And the man I am still walks by your stand.
Cause my blues returns to remember
That you still live, as long as I can play.
