my father had to go but he was never leaving me
he took me like a photograph he knew that I would see
protected by his memories, my heart could never lose
no matter what, no matter how, I’d see myself in you
you made of me a person who was softened by The Light  
a man who knows the meaning of the honest way to fight  
my father disappeared in every way the flesh does once
but I will always find him in the likeness of his love
