"Father's Son" lyrics
Mama made it look easy
Daddy sure seemed tough
Just a 2 bedroom apartment
But I was one of the lucky ones
Looking back I couldn't see it
Til' I turned 25
And just like that it hit me
That we were just alike
My moms her mothers daughter
My dads his fathers son
No capes or superpowers
Like I thought when I was young
It took some time to realize
They're human just like us
Never had it figured out
But I could never do without
A mothers daughter and fathers son
Never saw my mama crying
Always hiding the truth
She could've taught me to give up
But that was something she would never do
I finally started to see it
When I hit 35
They didn't have it all figured out
Living life for the first time
My moms her mothers daughter
My dads his fathers son
No capes or superpowers
Like I thought when I was young
It took some time to realize
They're human just like us
Never had it figured out
But I could never do without
A mothers daughter and fathers son
Mama made it look easy
Daddy sure seemed tough
Just a 2 bedroom apartment
But I was one of the lucky ones
Daddy sure seemed tough
Just a 2 bedroom apartment
But I was one of the lucky ones
Looking back I couldn't see it
Til' I turned 25
And just like that it hit me
That we were just alike
My moms her mothers daughter
My dads his fathers son
No capes or superpowers
Like I thought when I was young
It took some time to realize
They're human just like us
Never had it figured out
But I could never do without
A mothers daughter and fathers son
Never saw my mama crying
Always hiding the truth
She could've taught me to give up
But that was something she would never do
I finally started to see it
When I hit 35
They didn't have it all figured out
Living life for the first time
My moms her mothers daughter
My dads his fathers son
No capes or superpowers
Like I thought when I was young
It took some time to realize
They're human just like us
Never had it figured out
But I could never do without
A mothers daughter and fathers son
Mama made it look easy
Daddy sure seemed tough
Just a 2 bedroom apartment
But I was one of the lucky ones
