My Old Man

My Old Man

I don’t believe in miracles
Santa Clause and such
Only wish it all were true
I wouldn’t ask for much

For if truth were only known
we all would live in fear
How close one need to toe the line
what dangers could be near

Ignorance is bliss of course
remember childhood days
My own God was called father
with no one else to praise
