Father
Son
All my life
I'd have died to meet you
Thought about your
name so much it hurts
For twenty years
I've dreamt of
how I'd greet you
Oh and now you're here
I can't find the words
All my life
I'd have died
to know you
Days and nights I wish
that I could show you
For twenty years
I never could
outgrow you
Oh and now you're here
I can't help but wonder
what your world must be
If we're like each other
if I have your
strength in me
All this time
I've wondered if you'd
embrace me as your own
Twenty years
I've wandered
for so long
I've felt alone
Oh my son
look how much
you've grown
Oh my boy
sweetest joy
I've known
Twenty years ago
I held you in my arms
How time has flown oh
Used to say I'd make
the storm clouds
cry for you
Used to say
I'd capture wind and
sky for you
Held you in my arms
prepared to die for you
Oh how time has flown
I can only wonder
what your world has been
Things you've had to suffer
and the strength
you hold within
All I've ever wanted
was to reunite with my own
Twenty years we've
wandered but today
you're not alone
My son I'm finally home
Father how I've
longed to see you
Telemachus
I'm home
Go tell your mother
I'm home
I'll be there
in a moment
of course
Show yourself
I know you're
watching me
show yourself
You were never one
for hellos
I can't help but wonder
what this world could be
If we all held
each other
with a bit more empathy
I can't help but feel like
I led you astray
What if there's a world
where we don't have to
live this way
If that world exists
it's far away from here
It's one I'll
have to miss
for it's far beyond
my years
You might live forever
so you can make it be
But I've got
one endeavor
there's a girl
I have to see
Very well
Father
She's waiting
for you
