Lyrics

They say those who teach us never really leave us
I can feel you in my DNA
I still hear your voice when I'm making the wrong choice
Lessons I carry with me everyday

Like the stars now you're far above
But I can still see you looking down on me
I hear the souls in the blowing wind
confessing their sins to the trees
So we never really say goodbye

All the little mundane moments gone
To the monumental milestones
And all the time we never shared in between
Sometimes life can come between fathers and their sons
But you were always there in my time of need

And I can see all your past mistakes
carved in every line on your face
All that nature can rob with age
all the time you can not replace
But we never really say goodbye

When I'm in pain or catastrophe
I know you're still there for me
In some other worldly capacity
Stepping forward into the dark
Stepping back as the patriarch
Light another candle in my heart

ABOUT THIS TRACK
For Pete, my father who passed away Dec of 2023
