father and son

I was just a simple boy,

didn’t know much of anything

‘Til my father sat me down,

and explained to me everything

He said son, my father was flawed, he obeyed such a selfish deed

But he turned to the grace of God, and his ransomed soul was freed

I was just a simple teen,

growing up just the best I could

‘Til my father sat me down,

showed me love ’til I understood

He said son, I’m not a perfect man, I don’t know much of anything

But I’m trying the best I can, I work hard so that you can sing

Now I’m just a simple man,

I don’t know much of anything

But someday I’ll sit my son down,

and explain to him everything

I’ll say son, my father was strong, he loved me more than anything

Now I see how to love like him, and someday you will love like me
