Lyrics
Father of My Childhood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were the one who taught me like a son
About courage and honor, and brains over brawn,
Or the other way round when no other way’s found,
And diplomacy fails – but right must prevail.
About drawing my sword when i cannot afford
To let this fight continue,
I end it and the you show me, once again,
Like a teacher and friend that although i grow older,
The magic and fun never ends.
Father of my childhood,
Author of my dreams.
My parents clothed and cared for me,
But you taught me everything.
I know i’m not the only one who wouldn’t be today
The man who stands before you now,
‘cause you taught me how to play.
All that you taught me is really what got me
Through life’s little let downs, the bad sights and sad sounds
Of a world steeped in darkness, of tragedy, hardships,
But thanks to your teaching, i found myself reaching
Beyond the horizon for that little prize,
And i knew it was out there,
Past all that’s unfair; you taught me to find
In a world so unkind that the darker the shadow
The brighter the light that’s behind.
Father of my childhood,
Author of my dreams.
My parents clothed and cared for me,
But you taught me everything.
I know i’m not the only one who wouldn’t be today
The man who stands before you now,
‘cause you taught me how to play.
And i know you think you’re just a simple man,
But i sing this song in hopes that maybe you will understand
That you’ll never know or see with earthly eyes
How you’ve touched so many lives.
Father of my childhood,
Author of my joy.
You’ll never know the change you made
In such a simple boy.
Father of my childhood,
Author of my dreams.
My parents clothed and cared for me,
But you taught me everything.
I know i’m not the only one who wouldn’t be today
The man who stands before you now,
The man who stands before you now,
The man who stands before you now,
‘cause you taught me how to play.
