Father Son Song - Every Boy Needs A Dad

I wrote this father son song. This is a first cut of this song and it will probably be hacked away at and fine tuned over the next few months. I wrote this song in the airport in my head about a year ago and finally put it down on paper. At the time I had just witnessed a father in the airport yelling at his 3yr old son to get away from him and stop bugging him with questions about airplanes. Something in the way he said it made me feel really sad for that kid. And that was juxtapositioned against an observation i had that morning on the shuttle to the airport as the shuttle driver talked to each of his children on the phone as they got ready for school and encouraged them in their studies and told them to "work hard" and "be safe" and "stay away from the kids with drugs" and "pappa loves you" etc. What a difference. This song is also a response to first hand work with jouvenile delinquent boys who struggle with drug and alcohol abuse, and to the obvious need in our culture for fathers in our world to rise to the calling of their high role in society. I'm so grateful to our heavenly Father who never gives up on His children, and who gave His Son for us. I wrote this song with someone's voice like Josh Turner in mind. I recorded this on my laptop at 3 am and let's just say my voice ain't gonna sell commercials on CMT! But I hope you like it.

My girlfriend has a boy thats only one, hes not mine, but hes never seen his, and I'm doing my best to be his dad, because I know what its like without a dad. I want him to have the best possible life ever

my dad went to jail when i was born cause he stole supplies for me like diapers,bottles and stuff. and wrote me a letter last week telling me he couldn't live with himself anymore and told me he got only a year in jail, and couldn't bare to see me. the letter was a suicide letter he killed himself cause he thought he was a bad dad. i never saw him, knew what he looked like, or had ever had one. I've been from foster to foster and just wish he knew i just wanted him here for me...

My dad hates me.. >_> and I could really care less. He's a worthless piece of shit.

It's weird though, I want a father, but I don't want HIM as a father. =S

my dad, was in the army, he died right infront of my eyes. Trying too protect me, i wish i could take it all back now, my dad wasn't just a hero for his country, he was my hero. i'm always gonna make my dad proud, each day. Love you dearly papa. Rip.

My father was just a father and was never a dad to me.He was verbally abusive to me and sometimes physically harmed me.I will never know why he was that way towards me. Now I am older, successful in life but find myself wishing to be a father and a dad to someone. I would never be like my father. I find myself guiding,advising and listening to the younger guys at work that did not have much of a father figure,or have a dad in their lives, so I guess I am a dad, at least to them.

[trevorlw01]
