Dad

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
