I thought about what he would say
I was grown and you raised me right
We had our time together as a family
And it is your love that gives me light
I thought about what I might say to him
It’s hard to live in this world without you
As I got older you gave my life new meaning
Now I know why my Dad loved me like I love you
There is still time for hope
I can find it in my love for you
There is so much for me to question
I don’t understand God’s will this time
But I once prayed that it be done
I thought about what we would both say
Would we talk about the day you were born
Or the day you left to become your own man
I was proud but still my heart was torn
Maybe it would be best
to let our eyes talk
to let our hearts talk
to let our tears talk
it’s time for words to rest
There is still time for hope
I can find it in my love for you
There is so much for me to question
I don’t understand God’s will this time
But still I pray that it be done
