Fa(R)ther

I followed in your footsteps til your shoes were off/

Barefoot you left me/

Walking through broken glass and empty cans/

Broken promises shadowed by shame/

Suffering your own PAINS/

father/

I followed in your footsteps/

I followed you farther than dreams of a better Dad/

I followed you farther than stories about my Dad/

I followed through, where's your Father?

(i) followed in your footsteps til your shoes were off/

I followed even though you had no clue/

I followed/

Barefoot (i) followed you through the sand where you walked no more/

Tides washing the souls of your feet from the footprints left behind/

I followed memories of being a better father/

So I followed til your shoes were off/

I followed even though you had no clue/

(i) followed you Father til your shoes were off/

Fa(r)ther than the footsteps left behind/

(i) once followed you Father.
