I was born in the shadows..
Lived in the light of dawn..
I lived for the hope..
That one day the darkness
would be gone
I waited for the sun to warm me..
for the wind to sing me a lullaby
I waited for love..
I thought I found my fathers eyes..
One day I looked around myself..
and knew all you couldn't say..
I was so blind to this..
but it was too late
you had died that day..
Then I noticed I was all alone..
To late to turn the time back..
To late to bring you home..
Now as I grow tired
I know your time has come..
I yearn for you my father...
But know your life on earth is done..
I hope you know what you have given..
You gave me life
You gave me light..
You gave me hope of love
I never had
No longer did I live alone
in a world as dark as night..
So rest my father..
Have no regrets, no guilt, no tears..
You have given me a lifetime of memories..
in a few short years.
You led your life as a spirit so free..
You lived the way people wish to be..
You are more than just my father..
you are my light.. my best friend..
But as we both know..
All good things must end..
