If You Were There

If You Were There

They say an apple never falls
To far from the tree
That is why I wonder if
My fathers just like me
I know he hasn't been there
But I would like to see
If he is still the person
I heard he used to be
It's been a controversy
Which has left no guarantee
That there would be a reason
For us to disagree
The hardest part is wondering
About things I can't foresee
Like would it make me happy
If he were there for me
