Gerry Limpic - Second Childhood Lyrics

Hey look at you youre alive as you can be
But it hasnt been that long ago
The devil had you on your knees
You were floundering on the open sea
And your ship was going down
Aint it funny how you can be so lost
And suddenly be found

Ive been watching so long
And ive seen you struggle so
And ive seen the pain that youll never feel
And the hell you had to know
You were running from your lonely past
You were running for your life
And you know it was just the grace of god
That let you run right into paradise

And i wantr to thank you for the father youve been
Youve always shown me the way
Though sometimes you didnt show it
And you didnt even know it
Youve always had a word to say
And for all the burdens that you bore
And the obstacles youve overcome
Im so glad that youre my father
And im proud to be your son

Somewhere a seed was planted
It was deep inside of you
And somewhere above you a light was shining
And suddenly it broke through
You had to stumble through the darkness
You were looking for your journeys end
Then a miracle took place in you
A grown man was born again

Hallelujah hes been released
Hed almost given up for good
He traded his pride for the treasure inside
And started a second childhood
After years of coming up empty handed
Now you overflow with joy
And im so glad that youre my father
And im proud to be your boy
And im so glad youre my father
And im proud to be your boy
