A Fathers Love Do Not Let Go

I wore my sins, like I didn't care

Drink my nights while my faith went thin

I broke the vows I swore I keep

Now I pay for it

When a house won't sleep

God knows the weight, I carry alone

Some scars don't show

But they own your bones

I'm still waiting on my son to come home

Still talking to God when I'm alone

Yeah, turning gray, heart beating slow

But a father's love don't let go

I'll be right here

Right or wrong

Still waiting, son

Still holding on

I taught you how to pray, not how to war

Now every night, I pray you're not blind

I don't need excuses, don't need truth

I just need your voice saying, Dad, it's you

Time keeps taking more than it gives

But hope's the last thing, a father needs

I'm still waiting on my son to come home

Still leaving that light on when I'm grown

God brings you back cold as wine

I thank him with these tired eyes

'Til my last breath

'Til I'm gone

Still waiting, son

Still holding on
