The Good Son

Dad
You hear me now
I found my way
Found my way somehow
Dad
I have a boy too
Don't you think I know
He looks a little like you
Dad
The dream is done
The changes come
The changes run right through me
Time
To let it go
I think of you
And I think I know myself

And I
See your face
By the light of the dashboard
We would drive all night long
And I
Hear your voice
From the dark of my room
And everything's all right
And I'm
Trying to be strong
The way you showed me
The way I saw when you were young
The good son

Dad
My heart is weak
Too weak to follow
The path I told you I would seek
And Dad
You gave me time
I took your blessing
But I left too much behind
'Cause Dad
The dream is done
The changes come
The changes run right through me
Time
To let it go
I think of you
And I think I know myself
