Dad

I was a kid, you were my dad
I didn't always understand
I wanted freedom, you got mad
You were concerned, I got upset

I didn't recognize you yet
And did you cry? I know, I did
When I lied to you I didn't want to hurt you
I just never knew I did

You never told me that you loved me
I know you didn't know how
I guess that shows we're much the same
'Cause I love you too and until now
I've never said those words out loud
I hope you're proud to be my dad

What are your secrets? Do you pray?
Is there a God that shows your way?
I wish, I knew

Do you have crazy fantasies?
What happens in your dreams?
I wanna know

I guess you'll always be a mystery to me
But you taught me how to value life
And what else do I need
I have a dad who watches over me
