The oldest of pain sometime has a father name
I was the oldest out of the young
There was no older brother as a hero for me to become
No older brother in my life
I looked to my father for the things that were right
There were so many battles in growing up for me
Without my father to guide what strength, can I see?
All by myself, I make the decision I make a choice
In my farther to be proud in me as to hear the love in his voice
I gave into the thought of a father that was proud in his son to see
That he was born with the entire set of tools that only he want me to be
I will never look back as the oldest son in pain
I will never see my father loves in shame
It has taken me four ten plus one
To understand a love between a farther and a son
