When days are grey and lonely
No loving arms to hold you
Then if you reach out your hand
Remember that I’m your friend
Whenever you’ve lost your way
I’ll be close to you always
Every time when you hear this song
There’s is love to be found
I’ll be your friend
Right till the end
If your heart is in pain
There’s no need to complain
You just whisper my name
One step, one far, one farther
Won’t take away its shoulder
If I will hold on to dreams
Life ain’t always what it seems
When you need some helping hand
I’ll be close to you
Life is more beautiful when you are with me, my Dad. All fathers are invisible in daytime; daytime is ruled by mothers and fathers come out at night. Darkness brings home fathers, with their real, unspeakable power. There is more to fathers than meets the eye.
This song to you all – Thank you for being my Dad
Music & Lyrics by Jon Barker.
A son rarely tells his Father How he really feels,
A handshake or a pat on the back Is all that he reveals,
I’d like to right that wrong,
Here in this little song.
Thank you for shaping my life,
Thank you for teaching me all you can,
You are no ordinary man,
You make me everything I am.
Thank you for taking the time,
Thank you for showing me the way,
And thank you for being thereWhen I need you,
Thank you for every single day.
Now I’ve been blessed with a son of my own,
Got my own bedtime stories to tell,
If I can raise him half as wellAs you raised me,
Guess I’ll be doing pretty well.
Thank you for your guiding hand,
Thank you for making my dreams come true,
You’re an extraordinary man,
And I hope you’re as proud of me
As I am proud of you.
Thank you for giving me life,
Thank you for showing me good from bad
.I guess I’m only really trying to say,
Thank you for being my Dad.
Even though the years drift away, I
never took the time just to say,
‘I love you, and I always have,
And thank you for being my Dad.’

Lyrics:
My son, it’s my pain unbearable dear
to see you as xerofyllo wind
in life chased turning
My son, did not hear your devious father
drifted and day by day
Being twenty years old and yet grow old
My son, what do you expect, my IP
in a muddy road
you’ll be always like a tree uprooted
without destiny, without sun and sky
My son, my yearning to Reflect
Come home to sweeten your wound
My son, my son, how I hurt
My son, it ‘s my people cruel dear
the lords it ‘merchants of war
and laugh when we tear rolls
My son, do not think anyone my beloved
as though your friends rejoiced, my God
that You ‘ve now fallen so low
