I became a father in 1979
I had some growing to do and this was the sign
Headed back to school tending bar wouldnt do
Another set of eyes for me to look through
Another son soon followed and things changed again
The circle is unbroken no beginning no end
Bigger dreams, bigger worries, bigger bills to pay
A father worries about his sons everyday
So many questions when a new life has begun
Only so much a father can teach a son
I had so much to learn way back when
How to treat people how to make life long friends
How to forgive when things go wrong
While learning to dance to your own song.
Looking for giants on whose shoulders I could stand
My father was drinker but yet a good man
I was walking the tightrope without a net below
Looking back now at all I did not know
Now my two sons have children of their own
Harvesting the seeds they have sown
The circle continues as it always will
Watching as it happens is one of lifes thrills
