I was a kid, you were my dad
    I didn't always understand
    I wanted freedom, you got mad
    You were concerned, I got upset
    I didn't recognize you yet
    
    And did you cry, I know I did
    When I lied to you
    I didn't want to hurt you
    I just never knew I did
    
    You never told me that you loved me
    I know you didn't know how
    I guess that shows we're much the same
    'Cause I love you too and until now
    I've never said those words out loud
    I hope you're proud
    To be my dad...
    
    What are your secrets, do you pray
    Is there a god that shows your way
    I wish I knew...
    Do you have crazy fantasies
    What happens in your dreams
    I want to know...
    
    I guess you'll always be a mystery to me
    But you taught me how to value life
    And what else do I need
    I have a dad who watches over me
