I Am Your Father

Sensitive boy, military fatherBoth of them needing something very badly from the otherThey had no choice; they could not reach eachotherNow the boy's an angry man; he holds it in no longer(He says) I could never win anything 'cause I already felt beatenAnd you have always hated me so I guess now we're evenSo look at me now - I'm not afraid to fight you man to manAnd the old man saysI am your fatherI am not anotherOf your schoolboy classmatesI am your fatherAnd you will not forget meI will stay part of you foreverListen to my sideLooking back I wonderWhy I couldn't feel for you the way I felt about your brothersAnd there were timesI'm sure you still rememberWhen I tried to talk to you and you left me an outsiderI avoid painful things so you were avoidedAnd I never really hated you, just sometimes dissappointedSo look at me nowAm I the same as the man you love to hate?No matter what...I am your fatherI am your fatherAnd you can mess up my face - go aheadBut I'll still be your fatherAnd you cannot forget meI will stay part of you foreverI could never look at you and say I love youI was taught that real men never broke downI feel like a victim I know you do tooLike father like sonI'm so sorry for the things I've doneI am your fatherI am your fatherCome what mayI'll be part of you forever
