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
