When my phone rings
And it's your voice
Oh the years just slip away
All the time, we missed
Nothing matters, just today
I'm no longer a boy
By most measures I'm a man
Still I need your steady wisdom
Need a guiding hand

How are you doing
So much to say
Your voice reminds me
How time fades
I have been angry
'bout the history
But today I'm thankful
You called me

When you were young
Like me
You felt this empty space
You did for me
The best you knew
Still it left a broken place
We are no longer boys
We can share this life as men
There's more than pain that binds us
You call me back to who I am

How are you doing
So much to say
Your voice reminds me
How time fades
I have been angry
'bout the history
But today I'm thankful
You called me

We come to this life naked
Wrestling the past
We're shaking
Learning to fall
Breaking
It takes courage to call
Heart aching

How are you doing
So much to say
Your voice reminds me
How time fades
I have been angry
'bout the history
But today I'm thankful
You called me
