My son, it's been a long, long time
Since we've been eye to eye, heart to heart
I know, you've tried so many things
To fill the void in you
My son
And I will not forget the promises I made
When you were just a baby
I am your father
And you will always be
My very own
And here you will find me
Waiting for you
I am your father
My daughter, I see the pain in your eyes
Longing to be loved, longing to be free
I know, your heart has been betrayed
Innocence lost
My daughter
Alone in your room, I see your tears
Falling again
So let me hold you close
Here in my arms
You will find rest
I am your father
And you will always be
My very own
And here you will find me
Waiting for you
I am your father
And you will always be
My very own
And here you will find me
Waiting for you...
I am your father
And you will always be
My very own
And here you will find me
Waiting for you
I am your father
I am your father
