Oh yes, he has all the answers
He's gonna set
me straight
How can he presume to know what
I've been through? 
He hasn't got a
clue
But how could anyone unless they've had a
son

As perfect as a child can be, 
The
best of all the best in me
My brush with
immortality, my kid.
For sixteen winters and
fifteen springs
I had a son, and still it
stings 
When i remember all the things we did,

Me and my kid.

Simple things like
fishing at the lake,
Tiptoeing out before
dawn,
Bobbie would worry if we didn't
hurry,
All the fish would be gone.

We
would sit and huddle in the boat
Waiting for
something to bite
And I'd watch the sun rise
in my own son's eyes
And the world would fill
up with light.
And Bobbie would ask a million
questions:
Daddy how many is the biggest
number?
Or Daddy, Why do I have a
thumb?

(chorus)And I confess, I didn't
always have the answers,
I didn't always know
which way was true,
Nevertheless, I always
tried to lead with love 
That's all that any
father can do.

As the years went by we had
our differences,
But then who doesn't 
Even
if the friendship wasn't all it was before,
We
shared a lot and who'd've thought 
That so much
joy could vanish in a blink, 
Whoever stops to
think.
And in that final moment who knows what
went wrong
The questions come to late, and
linger far too long

And I confess I don't
always have the answers
I don't always know
which way is true,
Nevertheless I always try
to lead with love,
That's all that any father
can do.

And then look, look what do I
do!
This boy comes to me,this fatherless
child
I scoff at his pain and I send him
away.
My daughter speaks up and I shout her
down
I won't hear a word of what she has to
say
My wife reaches out and I turn my
back
I send her to bed without even a
kiss
Can my God forgive the things I have
done
While I'm not forgetting how much I'm
still missing my son.

I'm tired of feeling
nothing, but numb
Maybe the time has come
To
finally let the world in
But how do i
begin?

(choir) Ohh ohh oo ooo

Give
me strength, and maybe then
I can reach my
fellow men
So we all may rise again

I
confess I don't always have the answers
I
don't always know which way is
true
Nevertheless, I always try to lead with
love
Please join me in asking our Lord to
guide and protect
Our children
