Her Father's Pride

(album: The Hunting Ground - 2021)

Hang the phone
Collect your thoughts now
They burn inside
You embrace the waterfall of anger

She runs away
In her shaken mind
She sees her home
Through the snowstorm of a daughter's eye
On through the valley
To the mountain side
She carries every bone of her father's pride

Wandering whispers
(Stand your ground)
You've crossed this way before
(The lights are fallen)
There's too much to uncover
(There's too much to bother now)
She doesn't know just when
Or where this started

She runs away
In her shaken mind
She sees her home
Through the snowstorm of a daughter's eye
On through the valley
To the mountain side
She carries every bone of her father's pride

She runs away
In her shaken mind
There's a pull towards home
Through the snowstorm there's a window light
She did what she could
At least she tried
She carries every bone of her father's pride

So far away
With an aching heart
Her life is full
And starting is the hardest part
She celebrates
Most of the time
The bittersweet reunion with her father's pride

From the back side of the valley
To the sunny mountain side
She carries every bone of her father's pride
The echoes from back home of her father's pride
She's on parade with her father's pride
