He looks the same, he talks the same, he even has the same face
But will he live that way
(But will he live)
Like trying to shake of your shadow it follows me even in the light of the sun
With my breath beneath your wings, you'll never keep your feet planted on the ground
With your breath beneath my wings I'll never keep my feet planted on the ground
And I wrote this song so kids could say
Its just another unhappy father's day
And I ask myself what is the measure of a man?
Is it the path he walks her where he began?
I feel like an echoless echo, so you think so you become, more then the light of his son
But your actions make you who you are, so if all I do is nothing then all I am is nothing
With my breath beneath your wings you could never keep your feet planted on the ground
With my breath beneath your wings you'll never keep your feet planted on the ground
She said to me with eyes glassed red, this town will eat your dreams
And sometimes when its tough, it's just not enough to be a good person
If only my heart would cradle another dying dream tonight
But I still see there ghostly faces when I close my eyes
I wrote this song so kids could say, It's just another unhappy father"s day
On that fateful day where she held me and knew, where one heart would shrink one grew
So don't you say it to your nephew, Don't say it to my brother
The measure of a man is in the sweat of his brow and how he treats the hearts held in his hand
So when your born with a heart as pure as the light of the sun
You are destined to burn inside
And you dare say "I love you"
