Wasting away in his room alone,
As thoughts carry him back
Back to a place called home.
Where has daddy gone?
One could only wish he knew
As the questions pile up.
(The memories) the memories are few.

On the day he turned seven years old,
He waited by the mailbox in the cold
Watching from the window.
Mom fears the broken heart of her son,
As he waited for the birthday card
That was never gonna come.

It's been far too long.
Where has Daddy gone,
And does he miss him?
Nothing can replace
What we never had.
Where are you, Dad?

Now the years have been spent,
And he's a little older.
Those days by the mailbox
All seem a little colder.
He learned it's just life
When Daddy won't stay,
But he promised himself
He'd be a better father someday.

It's been far too long.
Where has Daddy gone,
And does he miss him?
Nothing can replace
What we never had.
Where are you, Dad?

It's been far too long.
Where has Daddy gone,
And does he miss him?
Nothing can replace
What we never had.
Where are you, Dad?

He takes a step outside and reaches to the sky.
He's touched by his father for the very first time.
He breathes in new life as the sun disappears,
Returning tomorrow to burn away his fears.

He takes a step outside and reaches to the sky.
He's touched by his father for the very first time.
He breathes in new life as the sun disappears,
Returning tomorrow to burn away his fears.

Reaching to the sky,
Holding his head high.
Reaching to the sky,
Holding his head high.
Reaching to the sky,
Holding his head high.
