"Letter to my Father" Lyrics by Chris Treborn

COLLABORATION WITH SHYNE CHAYIM WHITE & CHRIS TREBORN
SONG: LETTER TO MY FATHER | DATE: MONDAY NOVEMBER 3RD, 2008
 
V1:   Dear father, I write this letter to you and pray;
That you receive this well, love lives another day
Dad I don't know… where to begin with this,
But you've raised me with stories to be a witness
        I share your experiences with my friends
Memories have a genesis, but they never end
Your legacy is what I wish to carry on
Continue through my life, through actions and song
        It's scary that I'm gone away from you and home
Least I can call on you and write you a poem
I never went to your school, many times rebelled
We've been through so much, still we build
        Don't give me a hammer, I can't use it myself
The bridge I build is through the words I tell
If I failed you I'm sorry, don't punish me please
Help my off my knees, on my feet I stand before I leave
CRS:          Daddy I love you.  That's why I hug you
                You're my one & only.  Place no one above you
                I'm writing to tell you that you make me happy              
                I'm a tree you're my roots, don't mean to be sappy
                        Public display of affections to no other
                This is a love letter I write to my father
                If I do what you ask, your love will never fail
                I will journey as I share – now I set sail
 
V2:   You've taught me so much including respect
You are my hero I hope all will accept
No other soldier no other vet will do
I'm thankful for victory, what you say is still true
        Everyday I feel you, in every thing I do
Whenever there's fungus you discard the mildew
That's why the seeds you plant and their flowers bloom
Allow the sun to give them life; your life is ours too
        No words I can muster, not a thing I can utter
Iterate my adoration, in affection I just stutter
Too bashful or too shy, to show the best guy
I fall short of your glory, what is the reason why
        I can't remember it all, history you're alive
Recall, reflect teachings – in everything you survive
All reminds me of you, reminisce all we been through
All that remains, is us showing the world the truth
CRS:          Daddy I love you.  That's why I hug you
                You're my one & only.  Place no one above you
                I'm writing to tell you that you make me happy              
                I'm a tree you're my roots, don't mean to be sappy
                        Public display of affections to no other
                This is a love letter I write to my father
                If I do what you ask, your love will never fail
                I will journey as I share – now I set sail
 
BRK:                 Set sail, as I tell.  My father's tale
                No I won't fail, just stay on his trail
                Set sail as we tell – our father's tale
                No we won't fail – if we stay on his trail
 
V3:   Out of every man, you are my favorite artist
I'm an illustration of you.  You know where my heart is
Every test you gave, easiest to hardest
I did my best to pass, rise out of the darkness
        I'm your prince aren't I dad, I'm your royalty
I know I once was, because you've spoiled me
But I left your kingdom, to see the world for myself
Fell in love with a girl, and boy did I fail
        Gone so many years, run with plenty peers
Woke from any dreams, and faced so many tears
This is me and you know, I continue to grow
To be the best son, as I reap what I sew
        Dad I love you and my mother, more than my lover
More than my son, I put you 1st before any other
And I send this to you, I hope you answer back
Truly yours.  With unconditional love.  That's a fact
 
CRS:          Daddy I love you.  That's why I hug you
                You're my one & only.  Place no one above you
                I'm writing to tell you that you make me happy              
                I'm a tree you're my roots, don't mean to be sappy
                        Public display of affections to no other
                This is a love letter I write to my father
                If I do what you ask, your love will never fail
                I will journey as I share – now I set sail
 
BRK:                 Set sail, as I tell.  My father's tale
                No I won't fail, just stay on his trail
                Set sail as we tell – our father's tale
                No we won't fail – if we stay on his trail
