letra de dad - the encouragement kid

dad i want to let you know you’re forgiven
leaving your children
would have been
just as hard for you as it was for me
watching you leave
in that airport scene
never thought i’d see
you again
thoughts must have been flooding through your brain
that whole plane flight
wondering if the choice made was right
even though it was painful, i want to reaffirm that it was
it was
because

someone had to end the ongoing war, it was tragic
but born out of tragedy can be magic
if you have that fighter spirit, and dad, we all have it
like the people of hiroshima
i’m a believer
the best is yet to come
we should visit there while you’re still young
they feel a lot of pain
but overcame
in the middle of the city is a flame
that won’t go out till there’s peace on our planet
having that mentality is magic
if you know the history
i was inspired cause now you’re the one missing me
from home
and i’m missing you from so far away
can’t calculate
sitting here with washed eyes
cause you hit me with that john prine yeah
you never know how far from home you’re feeling
till your tears there pooling on the floor reach the ceiling
or your out in -40, and your family’s in new zealand
feeling
a world away
i know you’ve felt the same
times a million
it was either stay and decay
or leave your children
you were losing your soul
you had to go
it sucks
but
you had to go
so

it taught me to toughen up, fight and push on through
but how to be a cushion too
cause my mother and sister need a place to rest their head
so i’ll be there instead
to steer ahead
sometimes i tear instead
and that’s when they’ve got me
when i felt like you forgot me
but i know you didn’t
just the mind of a kid and
emotions swelling
teacher telling
me
he’s
never seen
a team
quite like
me and a.g
in his 20 years of teaching
the way we were reaching
out to each other
she shouts that’s my brother
so proud
we didn’t allow
this separation
to seperate us
for the better it changed us
forced us to lace up
cause it gets dangerous
with suicide in the picture
and you want to keep ya sister
with ya
have to lift her
so i tell her
just fight for
one more day
tears make eyes sore
but you’ll be okay
if you fight for
one more day
please a.g just stay with me for one more day yeah
sad but it’s truly beautiful to think that
we didn’t sink back
into darkness
regardless of the hard hits
we see where your heart is
we know you’re not heartless
so forgiveness dad, you don’t have to ask this

you came back and that’s rare
i can’t imagine that fear
of coming back where
you have to explain to three little faces
why you moved to new places
and seeing how it changed us
oh man, man, that’s courageous
that takes humility, that takes valor
to come back and tell her
you’re moving back to the home town
after everything she knows now
and her life has done everything but slow down
coming back it’s rejection that could have you mowed down
like simba coming back to his pride
but you put your pride to the side
decide to catch a ride
arrive, arms wide
vulnerable, and unknown
it’s possible they don’t want you back home
but you attack those
voices in your head
don’t let
fear of the unknown hold ye back
a man i admire told me that
and he said f.e.a.r stands for false evidence appearing real
and emotions are just a temporarily feel
yeah, so son, i don’t base decisions off my mood
and you can achieve anything, yeah anything, anything you set your mind to
love you dad
