All my life
All my life
You were Dad

At the funeral

You lowered your head

I had never seen you

Look that small

Nothing about you changed

Only what I could see
Only what I could see had changed
My father

His son
He, too, is someone's son
The man I called Dad

Was somebody's child
Was somebody's child
My father

His son
He, too, is someone's son
That night I saw
That night I saw
Who you were before me
Who you were before me
I never pictured
I never pictured
Someone holding your hand
Someone holding your hand
Calling your name
Calling your name
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
You were just Dad
You were just Dad
Until grief made the word bigger
Until grief gave that word a larger meaning

That night I saw

Who you were before me

One day
One day
My children may see me
My children may see me
Not only as Dad
Not only as Dad
But as someone's son
But as someone's son
My father

His son
He, too, is someone's son
Nothing about you changed

Only what I understood
Only what I understood had changed

All my life you were Dad

That night I saw the child

Still inside you
