Father, Grandfather

I can remember in your arms I saw you as a grown up me Now I have your looks and charm That you are not right here to see You left this Earth when I was young I understand you had to leave And understand my day will come To leave the ones who're after me Just like the one who brought you here That gave to you his very name I see it all so crystal clear After you left he still remained He took the role of father and Grandfather to his own son's son Then left this cruel Earth a man To live again beyond the sun When my time has come I will be Everything that both of you are To me to my own lil' kiddies I'm hoping it will take them far
