father of mine

[02:29.93][01:00.87][00:49.66][00:11.19][00:00.95]Father of mine
[00:03.51]Tell me where have you been
You know I just closed my eyes
My whole world disappeared
Take me back to the day
Yeah when I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away
I remember the blue skies
Walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk
You would take me to the movie
You would tke me to the beach
Take me to a place inside
that is so hard to reach
Tell me where did you go
Yeah you had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know
Tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life
And you don't see me
I was ten years old
Doing all that i could
Wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy
in a black neighborhood
Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
with a five dollar bill
Yeah I never understood you then
And I guess I never will
[01: 32.17]My daddy he gave me a name
[03:42.45][03:40.43][03:35.39][03:30.40][03:25.38][03:19.53][01:45.87][01: 40.94]Then he walked away
[03:22.60][01:42.99]Daddy gave me a name
[03:27.60][01:47.65]My dad he gave me a name
Yeah I just closed my eyes
And the world disappeared
Tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
And the wife I saw you beat
I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame
Now I am a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear I'm not going to let her know
All the pain I have known
