Sorry, dad

Son, hello, it's Dad God knows where you are, what's wrong But every day I pray that you're still holding on You're a fighter by nature, I know you'll stand tall I supported your choice to go, I'm proud of you — that's all More than any words could ever say To me, you're a hero — know I'll wait No matter how long — I'll wait Take care, just come back alive someday Yesterday you were gone — Da-a-ad And I lit a Malboro, Malboro Though I quit a year ago I miss your vo-oi-ice so bad Hear it only in voice messages now Remember the song I wrote? Promised to visit Forgive me, Father — couldn't break out The war wouldn't let me go You say: "God knows where you are" — Now you both know where I am You dissolved in that June sunset I hear your voice in strangers I met I never told you the main thing — How truly I loved you Though it wasn't smooth between us two Now you're finally proud of your son But you won't see me coming home Yesterday you were gone — Da-a-ad Lit a Malboro, Malboro Though I quit a year ago God, I miss your vo-oi-ice Only in voice messages now Remember that song? I swore I'd come Forgive me, Father — I couldn't break out The war kept me chained down I breathe out smoke to reach the sky Ask God for us — just give us might We'll win, I'll come to your grave And we'll talk about everything I've played all your messages, wore out the screen You are my light, even if light is in fire Thanks for believing when I had no faith — "Your son is a hero" — those words I'll take Someday when my time will come We'll meet again, I'll hold you tight I'll sit beside you, tell you my whole life But for now — I've still got here Unfinished fights To be a warrior — means to live forever You're gone, but in these lines — you'll live forever Yesterday you were gone... Da-a-ad Lit a Malboro, Malboro Quit a year ago... but who cares I miss... your voice Only in voice messages now Forgive me, Father... couldn't break out We'll meet... someday ...Dad, I love you
