Life After Life After Death

Son, I want to tell you something without the words to make it so There are some things that you can't know 'til you already know Like how much I would love you even though you are so new Everyday is better Better because of you I wish that I could keep you from every shadow in your way They'll all come to nothing someday They'll shrink and roll away For now you've got to walk a road I cannot walk for you If I could somehow spare you pain it's something I would do 'Cause the world has got some teeth Oh Son, it bites, you'll see And when it does please remember these simple words from me If I can be some light for you To help you find your way Just pointing at Someone bigger than me Then that would be okay For you to know Him like I do And even better, better still And though the way we love you And though we always will There is some magic passing between a father and his son And nothing takes that love away No way it comes undone And most everything else will break And yeah some things will die And yes it's going to hurt you son And yes you're going to cry But I have found this thing is true when everything is wrong The world is an ugly place, but it won't be for long No matter where you find yourself no matter what you do The One who calls you faithful, Son He makes all things new So many of the ones I knew broke down along the way Son, don't be like them when you finally face the day Don't turn your face away from truth, even when it hurts Don't be the seed that can't take root Upon the shallow dirt If I can be some light for you To help you find your way Just pointing at Someone bigger than me Then that would be okay For you to know Him like I do And even better, better still And though the way we love you And though we always will If I can be some light for you To help you find your way Just pointing at Someone bigger than me Then that would be okay For you to know Him like I do And even better, better still And though the way we love you And though we always will If I can be some light for you To help you find your way Just pointing at Someone bigger than me Then that would be okay For you to know Him like I do And even better, better still And though the way we love you And though we always will I try to be a better man And I'm still learning how I had a dad who taught me once And I can't ask him now So while I have this time to talk There's one thing I would say, "Follow Jesus with your heart Love Him every way."
