Father Loves Son

The look in your eyes
Like father loves son,
You must have seen
My pain, my sadness
And my loneliness;
You smile at me
Like father loves son.

I’m going down
This long highway,
Alone and unsure
Of what is beautiful;
You give me your hand
And smile at me
Like father loves son.

What have I learned
From living this life?
There’s hope in sight;
I’ll be forgiven
If only I knew my crime.
You smile at me
Like father loves son.

You kiss my pain
And heal my wound,
Every memory of you
Is part of me now;
I’ve been blessed
I’ve been loved
Like father loves son.
