I arrived on time, in my mother's arms And a name I didn't choose I was blinded by the white of the hospital And in that moment I was pure and absolute Little did I know the moment died when it was young When my father taught me half of right and wrong He washed his hands of trust and left us penniless Before my brain had chance to learn his foreign tongue Even though I feel like I'm alright Part of me is missing when I close my eyes It's clear that you shine through me In every mistake that can't be undone As I'm getting older, oh it's clear what I've become I am my father's son I am my father's son It's clear what I've become I am my father's son I do more than just share your name I can feel your blood running through my veins Because the lying, the cheating, the stealing Oh it's transferred through To me, from you Even though I feel like I'm alright Part of me is missing when I close my eyes It's clear that you shine through me In every mistake that can't be undone As I'm getting older, oh it's clear what I've become I am my father's son I am my father's son It's clear what I've become I am my father's son All of the months and the years that have gone by You never once could find the time to tell me why In all of the months and the years we've gone through I tried my best to be myself but ended up turning into you My father's son, my father's son No, it's clear what I've become Because I am my father's son No, it's clear what I've become
