Call Me Daddy
Call Me Daddy: A Soulful Journey of Longing and Love
Lyrics
Little boy running through the yard
Reflecting on childhood innocence and playfulness.
Fell and skinned his heart
Describing emotional pain or disappointment.
And later climbed up in a tree
Transition to seeking solace in nature (climbing a tree).
As he looked into the sky,
Contemplating life, perhaps searching for answers.
He began to cry
Expressing sadness, possibly due to a father's absence.
And said, "Daddy why'd you leave?"
Questioning the reason behind the father's departure.
Call Me Daddy, I'm feelin' blue
Reaching out to the father, expressing emotional need.
Call Me Daddy, I need to talk to you
Continuing the plea for communication and understanding.
Call Me Daddy, Help me through
Seeking paternal support and guidance.
And then he bowed his head to pray
Turning to prayer as a form of communication.
"Call Me Dad"
Reiteration of the desire for paternal connection.
The little boy became a man
Narrating the journey from childhood to adulthood.
Found a bride and took her hand
Celebrating marriage and starting a family.
And made a baby all their own
Emphasizing the creation of new life (having a baby).
As he looked in that baby's eyes,
Expressing a commitment to never abandon the child.
As the baby cried
Witnessing the vulnerability of the newborn.
He swore, "You'll never be alone"
Making a solemn promise to always be there.
Call Me Daddy when you're feelin' blue
Reiterating the availability for support in times of sadness.
Call Me Daddy and I'll talk to you
Continuing the offer to lend an understanding ear.
Call Me Daddy and I'll help you through
Emphasizing the commitment to assist through challenges.
And then he bowed his head to pray
Returning to prayer as a means of communication.
"Call Me Dad"
Reaffirming the desire for a paternal connection.
Another life has come and gone
Reflecting on the passage of time and the cycle of life.
Another baby's grown
Noting the growth of a new generation.
And stands alone against the world
Acknowledging the challenges of facing the world alone.
As he looks into the sky,
Looking to the sky, possibly yearning for guidance.
He begins to cry
Expressing emotional pain and a sense of loss.
And says, "Daddy I miss you"
Expressing longing for a departed father.
Call Me Daddy, I'm feelin' blue
Repeating the plea for paternal support during difficult times.
Call Me Daddy, I need to talk to you
Continuing the call for communication and understanding.
Call Me Daddy, help me through
Seeking guidance and assistance from the father figure.
And then he bowed his head to pray
Returning to prayer as a form of connection.
"Call Me Dad"
Final reiteration of the longing for a paternal relationship.
