Lyrics
Can you whisper softly
Seeking a gentle and intimate communication
into my ear again
Desiring a repeated expression of affection
run your fingers
Invoking a tactile and comforting gesture
through my hair
Suggesting a close and personal connection
Tell me I am the one
Requesting affirmation as the most esteemed person
who you're proudest of
Expressing pride and surpassing expectations
exceeding all expectation
Acknowledging achievements beyond anticipation
Oh father where did
Pleading for information about the father's whereabouts
they take you to?
Questioning the location or fate of the father
when they stole you
Referring to the father being taken forcibly
from my life
Expressing the impact of the father's removal from life
Unanswered questions
Highlighting unresolved queries ingrained in one's DNA
wrapped up in my DNA
Describing haunting questions connected to ancestry
haunt me as i pray
Expressing a yearning for forgiveness
for absolution
Praying for absolution and release from guilt
Can you hold my hand
Seeking support and guidance through a symbolic gesture
guide me to the promiseland
Asking to be led towards a better future
teach me to serve
Requesting to learn and follow the natural order
mother nature's plan
Referring to aligning with the principles of Mother Nature
Are my faint memories of you
Questioning if distant memories can provide healing
enough to make me well
Wondering if fading recollections can bring wellness
or will they harden with time?
Concerns about memories hardening over time
Traumatized by you
Expressing trauma experienced from a parental figure
the same way they hurt you too
Comparing personal trauma to that suffered by the parent
as a child of segregation
Referencing childhood experiences of discrimination
Welcome to my emancipation
Announcing a declaration of liberation and freedom
I promise to never repeat
Pledging not to perpetuate the pain received
the hurt you fed to me
Acknowledging lingering emotional scars
it still haunts me like a ghost
Comparing haunting memories to a persistent ghost
Repeat offender were you
Labeling someone as a repeat offender
taught by example
Questioning if harmful behavior is learned from example
lead by your own degradation
Suggesting negative influence and self-degradation
Can you hold my hand
Reiterating the plea for support and guidance
guide me to the promiseland
Seeking direction towards a metaphorical promised land
teach me to serve
Expressing a desire to follow Mother Nature's principles
mother nature's plan
Repeating the call to align with Mother Nature's plan
