This song was influenced by somebody that I met walking around downtown, so
Well, hey, my son, I know it's been a while. I know you don't know much about me
And it's no one's fault but mine. I left when you were young
Because I was so afraid. I caused you so much pain
I know there's no excuse for what I did to you. No father's supposed to run
I don't know what I've done. Just know that I love you
And I pray the best for you. I'm sorry I missed your life
Now I don't know what to do. Well, hey, my son, how do I do you right
I'm an evil man running from the light. To have another chance, oh, I would kill the man
In me to see your smile. I ask that you forgive me. If not, I understand
I know that you'll grow to be an amazing man. I'm sorry I missed your life
Oh, how I'd kill to see you one more time
