Seeing pictures of my parents young destroyed me
Won't let me deny the time I can't control
Sooner or later I may forget, how you were there for me
When I could just cry and crawl

Wrinkles on your face tell you've been seeing places
Counting heartbeats just to know you're in control
I learned from you with every step I made, I can see the traces
Making first steps on my own

Father calling you know
Shouting from the dark I'm asking you how
Seized all that I believed, and I could get
Will that ensure that in the end I won't face regret

All I wanted was to make right decisions
Saw the shore when no one else could understand
You stood proud even when I was lost
Collecting the pages

Even those I wanted to forget
Can one dream big without falling into worry
Can one be naive to said: At least I've tried
Will the clock still play its sound for me

When I'm a child in a graying body
Still begging to sing through the night
I'll be singing to you
Father calling you know

Shouting from the dark I'm asking you how
Seized all that I believed and I could get
Will that ensure that in the end I won't face regret
