Will:
Stranger
I'm feeling stranger
Than I've ever felf before
And so much more
Different
Like something old has joined
With something new
But still feels trueI'm passing through a rite
That every parent does
I'm walking on some shared familiar ground
Yet every step I take
Is not a step that was
And I found
I like the sound ofStranger
A child I've yet to meet
Becomes my everything
My song to sing
Father
And suddenly the weight of it is real
What do I feel?I feel connected
In a way I've never known
A line from dad to me to new-born son
So from today
I'll never make a choice alone
One for all
All for oneAnd when he's born
I'll teach him how to use his common sense
He'll listen and he'll learn and he'll excel
I'll tell my son
That life is lived in clear and present tense
Not only in the stories we can tellMy father told me stories
I could never comprehend
In every tale he'd claim to be the hero
I've tried to understand him
But I wonder if I canBecause after almost thirty years
I still don't know the man
I wish I knew the manBut he's a stranger
My father is a stranger I know very well
A puzzling shell
Hopeful
What's on its way may help us both to grow
But I don't knowI don't know when I'll understand
What made him wild
I don't know why he has the urge to fly
I want to face him
Like a man and not a child
So I'll try
I'll realy tryAnd in time, my boy is sure to see
Brighter days for dad and me
We can do things better than before
So that strangers we will be no more
