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.
