{Verse 1:}
Thank you for forgiving
Hurtful things I´ve done as a child
Adolescent or woman
Thank you for embracing a flaxen-haired baby
Although I´m aware you had doubts
I guess anybody´d have had doubts

{Verse 2:}
Please be at peace father
I´m at peace with you
Bitterness isn´t worth clinging to
After all the anguish we´ve all been through

{Verse 3:}
Thank you for the mountains
Thelake of the clouds
I´m picturing you and me there right now
As the crystal cascades showered down

{Bridge}
Strange to feel that proud, strong man
Grip tightly to my hand
Hard to seee the life inside
Wane as the days went by
Trying to preserve each word
He murmered in my ear
Watch part of my life disappear

{Verse 4:}
Father, thanks for reaching out
And lovingly
Saying that you´ve always been proud of me
I needed to fel taht so desperately
You´re always alive inside of me
Now you´re shining like
A sunflowers up in the sky
Way up high
