strongest man I ever knew
I never was a match for you
Always wanted your attention
Never knew just how to get it
Tried to be your opposite
I did it well, strange but true
How our lives are like a circle now
You were my unsolved mystery
Always barely out of reach
At baseball games when parents came
You were always missing, that's okay
The more I tried to be so different
I forgive you. I have no choice.
When all is said and done,
The first time that I saw you cry
was the morning that your daddy died.
I stood there in amazement
as you packed up your suitcase.
to get me through the day
Saw the boy inside the man
I forgive you, I have no choice
Cause when all is said and done
What is love without forgiveness?
When all is said an d done,
you did the best you could
when I finally understood
I forgive you, I have no choice
Cause when all is said and done,
Oh, I'll always be my father's son
When all is said and done
The strongest man I ever knew you
