LIKE FATHER LIKE SON
I don't know how to loveI don't know how to bethen the lightening stroked mewith the thought that made me freezecould it possibly bethat the fault could be caused by mehere is all I have to give my sonafter I surrender to the endless sleepa rope of humble wordsthat will light the walk that you shall takethe walk which I've donedo not dare let goin case you fear to lose the wayin case you fight the wild worriesof the path that you shall facenever expect your friends to give what you call is fate'cause the only thing they care about is their solemn soulsoh no my sonno time to sit and hateget up my sonand look back at the path you've crossedand feel the smile build upon your facethen turn around and drown your eyeswith tears of bloodcoming from your heartwhen you see what's left of your pathwhat's left for you to paceand regret even take the peopleyou have met on the way for grantedand treating them with hasteby the time you come to the endjust one step to your gravetake a moment to counthow many can you claimare your truly faithful matesyou'll look at your white, pale fingerswith eyes oh so widefrom the surprise that slaps your facewhen you find outthat there is no more than noneyou turn rightyou turn leftto spot the bright side you've always keptbut your eyes are blindedby the darkness that creeps towards youfrom every single doorand when the light of your eyes returnyou find yourself in your gravewith none of the things you've gainedexcept of what I've gaveoh you shall sing to your living sonwho will sit and cry on top of youand hand the rope to himalthough his cries will drownwhat you have to rhimejust like your cries drowned mineyou awaite to meet your lordand see what you have sinnedI love you son remember thatfor me I beg you to prayto let the lord forgive meand set me to embracethe seven heavens he has createdfor people who used their lives in better ways then I could ever seekand this is what I'll sing to youfrom the underneathnow hush my son you go to sleeptomorrow's another differenet daywhatever destiny laysI just want you to hear me sayI love you son remember thatfor me I beg you to pray
