i am your father

i'm not gonna play

games with you today

there's something i've got to say

i had to go

couldn't let my sorrow show

you're old enough to know

there are reasons for things

i am your father

i can not abandon you

i am your father

our bond is sacred

i'm not gonna say

your mother drove me away

you see her every day

i'm not gonna make

excuses for her sake

you know how much she takes

i am your father

i can not abandon you

i am your father

our bond is sacred

whatever lies were told you

i know you feel the truth

too far away to hold you

i know i'm getting through to you
