Hold Me My Daddy

Hold me my daddy
I never felt lower than dirt on the floor
I say hold me my daddy
I never felt like crying oceans before

If this means war, why are we in it?
Might've fired off a couple of rounds
I didn't mean to begin it

If these are the bullets
That every father and son must chew
Well then hold me my daddy
I forgot to say I love you

Hold me my daddy
It hurts me to see grow men fighting this way
I say hold me my daddy
The young and the old dog aren't having their day

This civil war, why are we in it?
There's nobody on this flat earth
Would ever want to win it

If these are the hot coals
That every father and son walks through
Well then hold me my daddy
I forgot to say I love you

And if you agree we can make amends
All this squabbling I've hated
In another time and another place
Where our history bends
We could've been the best of friends
And not merely related

Well these are the right words to say
They're difficult but still true
Well then hold me my daddy
I forgot to say I love you

Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby
Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby
Hold him tight, hold him like he was a baby
