Dad Song

[Ian Santillano]
Woke up one morning
Running  late to class
Normal  Friday feeling
But it wouldn’t last

Dark outside I check my line
Oh  it's my mom
Didn’t  think much of it
That was just the norm

But  when I saw their faces
Translated on me
No words needed to be said
Their agony was key

To  this door that read
This is a one way trip
Back to to dirt
My heart grew heavy in death’s grip

Wish you were still here
Wish I coulda made you proud in here
Wish I could be 12 years old again
Trynna make you understand

I don’t wanna fake this anymore
Wish you could still take me to the store
Buy me one of those things on the wall
Change my life with all your love

Couldn’t believe it
I still had hope
But doctors told us cancer
Had you on the ropes

How did this happen
This was not the plan
Tears fell in places
Driest in the land

Wish you were still here
Wish I coulda made you proud in here
Wish I could be 12 years old again
Trynna make you understand

I don’t wanna fake this anymore
Wish you could still take me to the store
Buy me one of those things on the wall
Change my life with all your love

For months its been
Can’t escape my mind
Said everything I am
Is me you and me combined

Watch me
And feel this song from up above
Let me feel
Your un-dying love
