Dear Father
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.
Yes I will
I'm the one
I can take
Overcome
And embrace
All this, misery and pain
Take me by the hand lead me down the road
Loosen my grip and lighten my load
Help me take the path less traveled by,
Help me understand the reason why
Dear father, forgive me
I dont know what i've done
Dear father, please guide and protect me
I'll return when my battle is won
Dear father
Yes you are
Yes you will
Your the one
With me still
Give me strength
To undo
All the hurting people do
Take me by the hand lead me down the road
Loosen my grip and lighten my load
Help me take the path less traveled by,
Help me understand all the reasons why
Dear father
Forgive me
Dont know what ive done
Dear father, please guide and protect me
I'll return when my battle is won
Without your help dear father (repeat 7 times)
I would be all alone, in the dark
No one to comfort me, listen to my heart
Take me by the hand, lead me down the road
Loosen my grip and lighten my load
Help me take the path less traveled by
Help me understand all the reasons why
Dear father
Forgive me
Dont know what ive done
Dear father, please guide and protect me
I'll return when my battle is won
