For my father

lyrics

All my life you have been as a rock
In a sea ever tossed by stormy gales
And while grounded you float like a dock
More than once I have unfurled my sails
And although I am riding the sea
There are days when I look out to see
Where the light calls me home to the shore
And I sail as the seabirds soar

If I call you a lighthouse in the dark
You would no doubt remind me of the source
As the mirror reflecting the spark
Or a lens ever focusing the force
To the world you appear to shine
Whether they see your light as divine
While the tear rarely falls from your eye
Underneath the river ne'er runs dry

In this revelation of you I'm not alone
There are many who would call you when they're down
There are others who would put you on a throne
And those who drop by when they're in town
For my own part I've written you this song
I have given a voice to the throng
Though their faces and names fade away
May you carry their love today
