Son, your father's not all good Still, I love you more than I thought I could And when the menace in my mind finds me I simply look to your eyes And, boy, someday I hope I do See the man you will grow into And when your heart's in disarray Know that your father, too, has made mistakes Son, your father's lost his head Still, I mean every word that I've said Though the truth can truly cut Here in this confessional with my blood Boy, someday I hope I do See the man you will grow into And when your heart's in disarray Know that your father, too, has made mistakes I've been cruel to the ones who have stayed by my side And foolish enough to believe in my pride But vanity never could keep me from caring for you I've strayed too far away from The Trees and The Lake The innocent road that I chose not to take But still, I can bring you to bathe in The River To wash out the world long before your heart's withered away Boy, someday I hope I do See the man you will grow into And when your heart's in disarray Know that your father, too, has made- He's made mistakes
