Battle Creek Something that you said last week Is eating me with sharpened teeth And I am so afraid Not something thrown out flippantly But to my heart and very core I may not see you anymore Or something even worse And in my bones, Your twenty-three same chromosomes Reside in twisted prophecy Likening our destinies I genuflect I'll hold my breath I'll wait and see Your blood is swimming inside me And there is no love Like fathers have for their sons Sons I am weak But believe me when I softly speak If there is strength inside of me It's you who put it there And I concede That something stabbed and made you bleed Stole the light you once believed Yet I still do Do you believe I saw your father in a dream? He said that he is safe and well And waiting up for us And there is no love Like fathers have for their sons Chorus: Boys need fathers Every daughter Every broken heart so gone I believe that love is greater Never ceasing, always hoping Always just beneath the dawn And there is no love Like fathers have for their sons Chorus
