The Iron Man
04:21

When I was young, I never thought
that I would go my separate way.
Now that I've aged, I have changed
and still the proud son you've raised.
The day that I stepped off your stage,
I knew you had something left to say.
You kept it inside and it comes out
from time to time, when you pray...
I want you to know I'm doing fine,
I never blew out the light you placed inside.
You've given me all i need to know
to help me face this world alone...
I reminisce that motherless day,
you took the bullet, you've embraced the pain.
Yet still alive, an Iron Man,
a working class ladies man,
a clergyman, a helping hand
despite the silent altercation that we have.
I want you to know that i fear death,
at least you know what lies ahead.
I hope one day I'll see you again;
that's if St Peter reads my name...
I want you to know I'm doing fine,
I never blew out the light you placed inside.
You've given me all i need to know
to help me face this world alone...
Life is a trail run in the dark,
sometimes we fall, and then we laugh.
One day we will all have our chance,
our time spent here is not too long.
If something could live after were gone,
let it be honest words to a song.
We all afloat on this a pale blue dot,
I've never met a man with a bigger heart.
You've touched so many hearts, you've reached into minds,
spread love, and impacted lives.
I hope this song makes you see
that i appreciate you taking on the challenge of raising me...
I want you to know I'm doing fine,
I never blew out the light you placed inside.
You've given me all i need to know
to help me face this world alone...
