This song was written about trying to convince parents that music is a GOOD career path after being told it won’t be successful.
[Verse 1]
Father you see, I'm the chosen one
Out in the cold, where my hope is gone
Starting to feel like my motive's wrong
But I reassure you are struck along
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh my Lord, you could crucify me
But I've struck a chord
Someone can you please remind me?
[Chorus]
Father, I have seen it all
From the voices in my mind
It's better to have seen before
Than to never have tried at all
And if they don't give a shit about you
Well I'll always be back again
'Cause Father, I have seen it all
From the voices in my head
[Verse 2]
Father, I don't want to let you down
Voice of approval's the sweetest sound
And I must keep two feet upon the ground
Inspired by the fear I could sink or drown
[Pre-Chorus]
And oh my Lord, you could crucify me
But I've struck a chord
Someone can you please remind me?
[Chorus]
'Cause Father, I have seen it all
From the voices in my mind
It's better to have seen before
Than to never have tried at all
And if they don't give a shit about you
Well I'll always be back again
'Cause Father, I have seen it all
From the voices in my head
[Bridge]
And oh my Lord, you could crucify me
But I've struck a chord
Someone can you please remind me?
And oh my Lord, you could crucify me
But I've struck a chord
Someone can you please remind me?
And oh my Lord, you could crucify me
But I've struck a chord
Someone can you please remind me? Yeah, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Father, I have seen it all
From the voices in my mind
It's better to have seen before
Than to never have tried at all
And if they don't give a shit about you
Well I'll always be back again
'Cause Father, I have seen it all
From the voices in my head
