about

I don't know what it is like to be a father, but it must be a terrifying responsibility with very few fulfilling moments.

This song is for Fathers everywhere ...

lyrics

VERSE:
I remember when I was just a boy
And from time to time, I’d get into somethin’
that got my Dad annoyed
He would sit me down and make me listen …
to every thing he felt I should avoid

He said, life’s like a Christmas present from above
Sometimes it’s justa pair of socks
Sometimes somethin’ that you love
But either way, it’s just for you
and I guarantee it’ll fit you like a glove

But, you know … sometimes it’s difficult
to accept the gift that you’re deserving of

VERSE:
He told me, Each day brings us choices
that we all have to make
Every choice is like a fork,
in the road our lives will take
Either path might be the right one
Either one could be a really bad mistake

Living with those choices
can be harder to endure
if the reason that you chose ‘em
wasn’t altogether pure
You might wonder what you were thinkin’
cuz you just can’t remember the allure

Someday, you’ll know what I mean
when you’re a little more mature


VERSE:
He said, time is good for hiding things away
When you can’t stand to think about ‘em
for yet another day
But sooner or later,
they present you with a bill you’ll have to pay

So son, I hope you’re listening
to what I said today
And that many, many years from now,
after I have gone away,
you can look back on your choices
and feel pretty sure you handled them okay

TAG:
So take it one choice at a time, son…
… and Oh Yeah … Don’t forget to pray.
