Father of Mine (Re-Recorded)

Father of mine
 Tell me where have you been?
 You know I just closed by eyes
 My whole world disappeared
 Father of mine
 Take me back to the day
 Yeah, when I was still your golden boy
 Back before you went away
 I remember blue skies walking the block
 I loved it when you held me high
 I loved to hear you talk
 You would take me to the movie
 You would take me to the beach
 You would take me to a place inside
 That's so hard to reach
 Oh!
 Father of mine
 Tell me where did you go?
 Yeah, you had the world inside your hand
 But you did not seem to know
 Father of mine
 Tell me what do you see?
 When you look back at your wasted life
 And you don't see me
 I was ten years old
 Doin' all that I could
 It wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy
 In a black neighborhood
 Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
 With a five dollar bill
 I never understood you then
 And I guess I never will

 Father of mine
 Tell me where have you been?
 Yeah, I just closed by eyes
 And the world disappeared
 Father of mine
 Tell me how do you sleep?
 With the children you abandoned
 And the wife I saw you beat
 I will never be safe
 I will never be sane
 I will always be weird inside
 I will always be lame
 Now I'm a grown man
 With a child of my own
 And I swear, I'll never let her know
 All the pain I have known
