Nothing Happens For A Reason

(album: Drifter - 2011)

How can I sum it all up in one song?
A father's love, from my very first breath.
I always knew you were strong, but this is so
This is so much more than strength.
Too heavy for words, man it's too much to take.
I'll be with you every step of the way.

One with your blood, I feel your exhaustion.
Your eyes are tired. Yeah, we need to sleep.
These days are ephemeral like your body is weak.
I feel it too. We're one in the same.

Just know you've been my guiding force;
A spirit unmatched, a soul like no other.
If I can someday be half the man you are,
I'll raise my head and look to the stars,
Thank every godless light in the dark
For the tired breath from this weary heart.

One with your blood, I feel your exhaustion.
Your eyes are tired. Yeah, we need to sleep.
These days are ephemeral like your body is weak.
I feel it too. We're one in the same.
