lyrics

You are the father of a one year old
Playing in the next room
He didn’t know
But I did
Traveling state lines
On Thanksgiving just to see you one last time
But you slept the whole time

I remember volunteering
To travel to the midwest in winter
On this occasion it as so much colder
That day that I first saw snowfall
Was the day that I said goodbye
Goodbye to you

At 14 I stared death in the eyelids
In his brown tailored suit so peaceful
Shared stories with your brothers
How you loved jumping off memorials
And chasing every car that drove too fast

It’s not your fault accidents happen all the time
Little Daniel doesn’t understand

We cried, we mourned, we buried you
We laughed, we smiled, we remembered all the good things

You are the father of a one year old
Playing in the next room
Daniel doesn’t understand
No he shouldn’t have to understand
