I wrote this song about my father who passed away last year. Please have a listen:
Or if you’re a spotify user you can check it out here:
It took us awhile to figure things out
Four lost souls that needed time
Mom held the pieces and you glued them up
Together you were the reason and the rhyme
We needed her light, we needed your love
And through it all you held the faith
That though we’d go our separate ways, built to roam
With each other we’d find our place
You were a restless spirit, so was I
But you tethered yourself to let me fly
And now you’re with the angels right where you belong
Where love knows no limits, there’s no right or wrong
You can sing out the joy that is in your heart
Without fear that this world will tear it all apart
I’ve heard it in the whispers, and I’ve felt it in my dreams
I never had your broken heart; you wouldn’t want that for me
You walked your path, and I ran mine, you kept your worries silent so that I could shine
You lifted me up, my biggest fan, a father, a friend, the spirit in my hands
now you are gone, and I still roam, you’re still the glue that we all called home
You were a restless spirit, so was I
But you tethered yourself to let me fly
And now you’re with the angels right where you belong
Where love holds no limits, there’s no right or wrong
You can sing out the joy that is in your heart
Without fear that this world will tear it all apart
I modeled myself after you
The way that you stood, the way that you rolled up your sleeves,
How you rested your head in your hands, yeah
That meant everything to me
But I could never capture your smile
Or how you scolded without raising your voice
I got all of your fire but none of your grace
As the memories fade so does the joy
