My Fathers Son Joshua Kadison

A great song by Joshua Kadison.

The moon aint made of cheese youd say
So find your own truths along the way
But Santa Claus and his magic sleigh
Had to be you in the rain that day
The Super Heroes on TV
Saturdays wed pretend to be
Youd say: Boys, well it seems to me
Youre the best heroes this world will ever see
Youre the best heroes this world will ever see
And after all is said and done
And my battles for independence won
Im proud to say that Im my fathers son
And after all is said and done
And my battles for independence won
Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun
Im proud to say that Im my fathers son
A fool thinks he aint bought and sold
Cause every man sells a bit of his soul
To bring his family home some gold
Before he knows hes gotten hold
You boys are not baseball stars
You never got that fleet of fancy cars
And Mama left you for the distant stars
But you never showed your battle scars
You never did like to show your battle scars
And after all is said and done
And my battles for independence won
Im proud to say that Im my fathers son
And after all is said and done
And my battles for independence won
Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun
Im proud to say that Im my fathers son
You made mistakes, but you made em well
You got up each time you fell
You paid your price and you lived some hell
But didnt it make for tales to tell
We learned to laugh, we learned to bend
We learned the lessons never end
And Im the luckiest fool whos been
To be your son and to get to call you friend
To get to be your son and to call you my best friend
And after all is said and done
And my battles for independence won
Im proud to say that Im my fathers son
And after all is said and done
And my battles for independence won
Hear me you old sly son-of-a-gun
Im proud to say that Im my fathers son
Im proud to say that Im my fathers son

I'm proud to say i'm my fathers son, he was a great man and a greater father. I wish he could have been here to meet Vicki, but I think he had a hand in God bringing us together. I really miss my best friend

where have you been dad???? I'm a grown man now. Everything I know I learned on my own. Where were you? My battles I fought by myself, I'm sad to say that I lost more than I won. But that's ok dad. Take your rest now dad. In the end, you're still my father. I love you dad. RIP.
