What The Heart Says

A Man

I've known a man

For as long as I have lived

He walked on the sand

A beach he visited

Thinking about his plan

Whether he would leave

Or would he mend

The pain he has left

Piercing through my head

I've known a man

He was someone I trusted

To make me feel protected

Yet he was always there on the beach

Every day and minute each

Walking on the sand

Thinking about his plan

Whether he would disappear

Out of fear

Or would he stay

To make all the bad dreams go away

I've known a man

He lived on a land

Far from where I stand

People called him mister

Yet I called him father
