A Father and a Friend
It seems like I owe you my life
More or less at least half of my time
To dedicate, a better way to express the way I feel
Maybe a walk, or maybe we can talk
About our relationship
You saved me since, I paid attention
And the spirit hasn’t escaped me since
If I had one last breath, I’d breathe again
If I had a moment to spend, I’d be with Him
As I’m prepared for when He comes
And save my life to live and trust
That God watches over me
As a father and a friend
When there are times I feel alone your there for me
While caught between a storm, there is relief
During the times I feel confused
Learning that life conceals its truth
Hoping a light reveals the root
And a way for me to see
I can talk to you in the morning while I’m awake
Or on vacation away from the pain I hide away
As my father and my friend
From all I depend in you
How could I replace
