"Erik, darling. Time to wake up!" His wife chirped, happily. Erik's eyes fluttered open and he sat up in their bed. "Coming." Erik said. He walked over to his closet and scanned through the rows and rows of jackets. He put on a couple of clothes and headed down the steps. Christine spun around to see her husband. Gustave, their 10 year son turned around and lit up with a smile. "Father!" He exclaimed. "Good morning Gustave." Erik kissed his son on the forehead and walked over to his wife. He kissed her on the cheek and picked up a plate.

He sat down at the table as breakfast was being served. "So what's for today?" Christine asked. "Well we have to go perform at the church this morning and then Gustave has to practice violin." Erik said. Christine swallowed down her blackberry and looked at her husband. "So, why are we performing for the church again?" Christine asked. "Well, they got news of our act and decided for us to sing Good good father. They say your voice will match the tone of the song." Erik said.

So Christine and her family ate breakfast and soon headed down to the church. Erik sat down at the piano while Gustave tuned his violin. People sat down and soon the music started. Christine's mouth started to move and angelic words came from her mouth.

I've heard a thousand stories of what they think you're like

But I've heard the tender whispers of love in the dead of night

And you tell me that you're pleased

And that I'm never alone

You're a good good father

It's who you are

It's who you are

It's who you are

And I'm loved by you

It's who I am

It's who I am

It's who I am

I've seen many who's searching for answers far and wide

But I know we're all searching

For answers only you provide

'Cause you know just what we need

Before we say a word

You're a good, good father

It's who you are

It's who you are

It's who you are

And I'm loved by you

It's who I am

It's who I am

It's who I am

Because you are perfect in all your ways

You are perfect in all your ways

You are perfect in all your ways to us

You are perfect in all your ways

You are perfect in all your ways

You are perfect in all your ways to us

Oh it's love so undeniable

I, I can hardly speak

Peace so unexplainable

I, I can hardly think

As you call me deeper still

As you call me deeper still

As you call me deeper still

Into love, love, love

You're a good good father

It's who you are

It's who you are

It's who you are

And I'm loved by you

It's who I am

It's who I am

It's who I am

You're a good good father

It's who you are

It's who you are

It's who you are

And I'm loved by you

It's who I am

It's who I am

It's who I am

You're a good good father

You are perfect in all your ways

It's who you are

It's who you are

It's who you are

And I'm loved by you

You are perfect in all your ways

It's who I am

It's who I am

It's who I am

At the end of the song, the crowd was in tears. They all soon rised and clapped. Christine bowed and Erik smiled at his wife. The priest gave them money and they headed back to their small little cottage. Christine walked into the living room to find her son playing the violin.

Her husband admired the young boy at his craft. "Beautiful Gustave! Beautiful Gustave!" His father soon rose and clapped. His son bowed and saw his mother. Christine walked up to her son and pulled him into a hug. "I'm so proud of you darling." She said.
