The relationship between a father and a son can be a fragile thing, particularly when expectations supercede obligations. However, doors are made to be opened as well as closed.

FALL FROM GRACE

Put it in a letter

Don't say it to my face

Write about the weather

Don't write about our fall from grace

Say it in a whisper

Keep it to yourself

Careful what you wish for

If you wish for something else.

Ask me any question

I would never lie

What was I expecting?

Everything from shame to pride

I have seen you smiling

And I have heard you cry

There is no denying

Mine is yours and yours is mine.

I always told you

That a son should make a father as proud

As a father can be

Now that I'm older

Maybe I should have given the time

To make you proud of me.

You had all your reasons

I had all my fears

But life is not one season

Winter comes and goes each year

Know my door is open

And always will remain

And know that I am hoping

That I will hear your voice again.

I always told you

That a son should make a father as proud

As a father can be

Now that I'm older

Maybe I should have given the time

To make you proud of me.
