Gabriel, Peter - Father, Son Lyrics






Father, son
Locked as one
In this empty room
Spine against spine
Yours against mine
Till the warmth comes through

Remember the breakwaters down by the waves
I first found my courage
Knowing daddy could save
I could hold back the tide
With my dad by my side

Dogs, plows and bows
We move through each pose
Struggling in our separate ways
Mantras and hymns
Unfolding limbs
Looking for release through the pain

And the yogi's eyes are open
Looking up above
He too is dreaming of his daddy's love
With his dad by his side
Got his dad by his side

Can you recall
How you took me to school
We couldn't talk much at all
It's been so many years
And now these tears
Guess I'm still your child

Out on the moors
We take a pause
See how far we have come
You're moving quite slow
How far can we go
Father and son

With my dad by my side
With my dad by my side
Got my dad by my side
With me

    Truly BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE........... My Dad had 4 sons and me, the only girl. he lost his man child son 38 years ago, well be 36 to him, but he had dementia in his last year, but he was the only son he remembered. I was his "lost" son............ My Pa taught me how to hunt,fish,nugget my boots, drive. He even encouraged me to buy the V8 car I own... I was his his "wing-man" as he was mine. And he taught me respect and honor, and values of all things, no matter how small.... I miss my Pa the finest gentleman and best friend I have ever had so I can relate so much to this song and what Peter felt and went through............May his Dad be at peace with mine and both smile down upon us both..........

    I lost my Dad this week and these words seem fitting. When I was young I remember the feeling of total trust and faith in my Dad. He was so active and I believed he could do anything. Growing up I realised that he had limits and wasn't Superman. I'm now 54 but just now I feel 5 years old again, waiting for Dad to come home. I love you Dad, sleep well xxxx

  47. M.... y....

    Beautiful song, I listen it now very often together with Mercy Street.
    I am a father of lovely 4 years old son. He is a purpose of my life.
    More than one month ago he was brutally taken from me. From then I even can not call to him.
    To survive and make something for my son, so he will always know I never left him, I started to compose music for him.
    Please see link below, or just visit my channel. In the future will be more songs for my son.

  59. B.... ....

    Very touching. Extremely well put together, visuals and emotions. You should all be proud of this. . . I never got to experience this closeness with my pops, he had emotional 'issues'. But I think of him when I sing along . . . hoping he can look down and connect with me as I sing along. So thank you Pete, you are sweet!
