My Father's Son
Legacy of Love: Unveiling the Heartfelt Journey in 'My Father's Son'
Lyrics
Up before the sun every single day
He wakes up early every day.
He gave me a home and gave me my name
He provided me with a home and gave me my identity.
He'd sing Robert Earl and Sweet Baby James
He enjoyed singing songs by Robert Earl and Sweet Baby James.
He built a life on amazing grace
He built a life based on the concept of amazing grace.
I was born to break every single rule
I was destined to defy rules.
With a reckless heart, sometimes a fool
My nature was impulsive, sometimes foolish.
I was hell to raise but he kept his cool
I was difficult to raise, but he remained composed.
Showed me love will always follow through
He taught me that love always perseveres.
I can see it all in his weathered eyes
I can perceive his life experiences in his worn-out eyes.
Full of strength and love and of sacrifice
His eyes reflect strength, love, and selflessness.
Oh I've spent my days living on the run
I've lived my life in constant motion.
But now I know that I'm my father's son
Now I realize my identity is shaped by being like my father.
Got steady job he's a steady man
He has a stable job, a steady character.
And over thirty years with wedding band
He's been married for over thirty years.
I bet a wild child wasn't in his plans
He likely didn't expect to have a rebellious child.
But every part of him's apart of who I am
Every aspect of him is ingrained in who I am.
I can see it all in his weathered eyes
I can see his life experiences reflected in his eyes.
Full of strength and love and of sacrifice
His eyes show strength, love, and selflessness.
Oh I've spent my days living on the run
I've lived a life on the move.
But now I know that I'm my father's son
But I now understand that I resemble my father.
Ya I know that I'm my father's son
Yes, I acknowledge that I am like my father.
There no monuments built in his name
There are no grand tributes made in his honor.
No magazines that will spread his fame
No media coverage to make him famous.
But when a good man lives, he leaves a wake
But a good man's influence persists.
And in a thousand years it will still remain
His impact will endure for centuries.
I can see it all in his weathered eyes
I see his life experiences in his eyes.
Full of strength and love and of sacrifice
His eyes embody strength, love, and selflessness.
Oh I've spent my days living on the run
I've lived a life of constant movement.
But now I know that I'm my father's son
But I now recognize that I am similar to my father.
Ya I know that I'm my father's son
Yes, I understand that I am like my father.
No matter where I may have run
No matter where I've gone,
Oh I'm proud to be my father's son
I take pride in being my father's child.
