LOODVIG - FATHER Lyrics

Years go by and I am changing
I thought by now I'd let you go
Your picture on my wall is hanging
And like the picture I'm still hanging on
Are you a stranger or my father
An obligation in the blood
Is it thicker than this water
Cause like the water you just run

Are all the orphans and bastard children
Labeled by a man that's missing
Are we what we are because of what was not
Is every villain just a victim who never fully found true healing
Do people who hurt people sometimes hurt the most
Are you just a product of what once was lost

Years ago I was your boy
But I grew up to understand
At twenty-three I made the choice
You don't define the man I am
Cause I found out to be a father
That first you've got to be a son
So maybe I can be your brother
And help you find the Father's love

Are all the orphans and bastard children
Labeled by a man that's missing
Are we what we are because of what was not
Is every villain just a victim who never fully found true healing
Are you just like me
A father's father's tragedy
Still learning what it means to be a son
