I am My Fathers Son

I have not done what he has done,

I know where he has been.

He has not been where I have gone,

yet knows the things I did.

I am my Fathers Son.

He tried to shield me from this path,

I wanted to follow his.

He never told anyone ,

I wanted to hear all of it.

I am my Fathers Son.

Together we now see each other,

the shroud has been lowered down.

The things that needed doing then,

still need doing now.

I grear up as he did then,

I am my Fathers Son.
