The Father


The fire inside my eyes Darkens as I speak When I speak the oceans rise And fall at my feet When they fall I pick them up And scatter them all around A drop of love for every broken soul To show them what they’re worth The tears that they have shed on every single pillow All fall into my hands and mix with my own No simple cure to end it End the pain they feel inside But I will hold them in my arms And rock them through the night My love is never-ending Never ends and never fails I would give anything To see my children smile
