Father Sympathy

Hello Father Sympathy
I am a child blessed of thee
I’m overwhelmed by you
I have made a mess of things
So please cure all of my disease
I do my best it’s true
And who makes the wind rumble
Inside my gut
I know I’m feeling this
I know I am a nut
I give what little that I have
And take it back
So tell me what is there to lose
That I don’t already lack
Hello Father Sympathy
I thank you for the good in me
I’m overwhelmed by you
I have dreams of destiny
So where’s my happy prophecy
I need a hand or two
And who turns the lights on
When I am small
I pray for parking spots
In the shopping mall
I give what little that I have
And take it back
So tell me what is there to fold
That you haven’t already packed
Cause I’m going on a long long ride
To God knows where
Hello Father Sympathy
I think the better part of me
Is overwhelmed by you
