One Day you'll Know

Son even when the world's not fair

I want you to know I always cared

Even when they kept us far apart

I held you close inside my heart

She told her lies tried to erase my name

But love like mine don't fade with shame

I stood my ground I faced the fight

Held on for you with all my might

One day you'll know what I went through

The nights I cried just missing you

She tried to erase the man you knew

But love like this stays strong and true

Every tear every step I made

Was just to see your smiling face

And when you're older you'll finally see

I never stopped fighting for you and me

She had me taken locked away

But truth has a stubborn way

So many moments we never got

But I held on I never forgot

She never won not in the light

But still she kept you out of sight

And even when the world felt cold

I stayed the man I hoped you'd know

One day you'll know what I went through

The nights I cried just missing you

She tried to erase the man you knew

But love like this stays strong and true

Every tear every step I made

Was just to see your smiling face

And when you're older you'll finally see

I never stopped fighting for you and me

Through these songs these words I write

You'll find the truth that came to light

I never ran I never lied

I just got caught in her disguise

But love can't die it only grows

And one day son I know you'll know

One day you'll know the man I am

Not the one from her bitter plan

And when you're ready look my way

I'll be right here I've always stayed

Every mile every wall I faced

You were the light I chased through every place

And when you read and when you hear

You'll know your dad was always near

My heart still beats with love so strong

It's where you've been all along

You'll see the truth when you're ready to grow

And son... one day you'll know
