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
