Daddy Can You Hear Me

Daddy, are you out there?
Daddy, come home
Daddy, please meet me 
Daddy, are you alone? 

You missed all my smiles 
you missed all my tears
you missed all my laughs
you missed all my fears 

I hope you come find me 
and see who I've become

do you ever think of me?
Do you ever wonder?
Do you know what I'm scared of 
lighting or thunder?

have you forgotten 
who I really am 

would you ever love me 
would you ever care
would you ever hold me 
like a teddy bear

do you want to know me 
do you want to see 
the person who I am 
and the person I'll be

do you have a picture 
that you hold in your hand 
or are you too scared 
to know who I am 

Can you write me a letter 
and tell me who you are
so I can see who my dad is 
and see if he's a star

well, I hope I get to know you 
and you get to know me
cause I really want to meet you
and the person you have been.
