[Verse 1]
Son, your father’s not all good.
Still, I love you more than I thought I could.
And when the menace in my mind
Finds me, I simply look to your eyes.
And boy, someday I hope I do
See the man you will grow into.
And when you heart’s in disarray,
Know that your father, too, has made mistakes.
Aaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah (Oooooooh)
Aaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah (Oooooooh)
[Verse 2]
Son, your father’s lost his head.
Still, I mean every word that I’ve said.
Though the truth can truly cut
Here in this confessional with my blood.
And boy, someday I hope I do
See the man you will grow into,
And when you heart’s in disarray,
Know that your father too has made …. mistakes.
I’ve been cruel to the ones who have stayed by my side,
And [D/A#]foolish enough to believe in my pride,
But vanity never could keep me from caring for you.
I’ve strayed too far away from the trees and the lake;
The [D/A#]innocent road that I chose not to take.
But still I can bring you to bathe in the river
To wash out the world long before your heart’s withered away.
Aaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah (Oooooooh)
Aaaaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah (Oooooooh)
And boy, someday I hope I do
See the man you will grow into,
And when you heart’s in disarray,
Know that your father too has made …….. he’s made mistakes.
