Battle Creek
Something that you said last week
Is eating me with sharpened teeth
And I am so afraid
Not something thrown out flippantly
But to my heart and very core
I may not see you anymore
Or something even worse

And in my bones,
Your twenty-three same chromosomes
Reside in twisted prophecy
Likening our destinies
I genuflect
I'll hold my breath
I'll wait and see
Your blood is swimming inside me

And there is no love
Like fathers have for their sons
Sons

I am weak
But believe me when I softly speak
If there is strength inside of me
It's you who put it there
And I concede
That something stabbed and made you bleed
Stole the light you once believed
Yet I still do
Do you believe
I saw your father in a dream'
He said that he is safe and well
And waiting up for us

And there is no love
Like fathers have for their sons

Chorus:
Boys need fathers
Every daughter
Every broken heart so gone
I believe that love is greater
Never ceasing, always hoping
Always just beneath the dawn

And there is no love
Like fathers have for their sons

Chorus
