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 want to 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
