Thank you for forgiving,
Hurtful things I’ve done as a child.
Adolescent or woman.
Thank you for embracing a flaxen-haired baby.
Although I’m aware you had doubts.
I guess anybody’d have doubts.

Please be at peace, Father.
I’m at peace with you.
Bitterness isn’t worth clinging to,
After all the anguish we’ve all been through.
(REPEAT)

Thank you for the mountains,
The lake of the clouds.
I’m picturing you and me there right now,
As the crystal cascades showered down.

BRIDGE:
Strange to feel that proud, strong man,
Grip tightly to my hand.
Hard to see the life inside,
Wane as the days went by.
Trying to preserve each word,
He murmered in my ear.
Watch part of my life disappear…

Father, thanks for reaching out and lovingly
Saying that you’ve always been proud of me.
I needed to feel that so desperately.
You’re always alive inside of me.
Now you’re shining like,
A sunflower up in the sky.
Way up high…
