All Of You

once i had a dream in the middle of the day ... nothing i wanted i needed to say

all your friends were happy for me ... your children looked forward to becoming family

they sang with me something i didn’t write ... there was nothing wrong i couldn’t right

i failed your father let down your dad ... i messed up the best job i ever had

you don’t need this you don’t need mine ... you should be happy as you are kind

you warned your kids stay from those like me ... your mom says you should let me be

irreparable damage between me and you ... to fail your dad i can never undo

he never asked of me a thing ... all i had to do was bring

an embrace capable of letting go ... to say without words what you wish to know 

everytime i say what i feel ... like an altar boy i’ll kneel

at the feet of those for whom you care ... if not for me i would be there
