Father
Father you had me
Did I ever have you?
Father you finished with me
Before I began with you
Father I am all grown
But my heart is young
Father we never known
What we never begun
Daddy was it to hard to love your boy
Daddy did I ever bring you moments of pride and joy
Daddy you're gone and I never knew the man
Daddy I am here and alone I stand
Father why is it so hard to love?
Father did you ever get enough love?
Daddy you died and now I live
Daddy I have your name it was all you had to give.
