Lyrics Father's Hand - Shreddy Krueger

Father's Hand

Blood of blood
Beyond the snow kissed streams and mountains
I’ve fought through the flood (Of raw emotions)
To lay them deep beneath the ground
So just bite your tongue
You hurt more spirit than skin
I bruise, I heal, and it begins again
My fear is we’re too late
My fear is we won’t relate, won’t relate
It’s all in the message you make
And the innocence you take
You left the lake so long ago
But you need to know I won’t let you go
All of the missteps you’ve made
Have all began to fade
As you wade the marsh to find a home
I need you to know I won’t let you go
We’ve been silent for seasons
Though we both have our reasons
Now we stand to mourn the dead
Attacked at the heart
Maybe that keeps us connected?
You hurt more spirit than skin
I bruise, I heal
It’s all in the message you make
And the innocence you take
You left the lake so long ago
But you need to know I won’t let you go
All of the missteps you’ve made
Have all began to fade
As you wade the marsh to find a home
I need you to know I won’t let you go
I don’t wanna let you go
I met a girl and we fought and fought
Her family pushed, so we tied the knot
I could’ve used a father’s hand
Could’ve used a father’s hand
It ended fast and I fell apart
Self-medicating a broken shattered heart
I could’ve used a father’s hand
Could’ve used a father’s hand
I turned from God, barely looking up
I fell and fell;
hoping you would pick me up
I could’ve used a father’s hand
Could’ve used a father’s hand
You’ve missed so much
As I write, it all comes pouring out
All I needed was for you to search me out
I could’ve used a father’s hand
Could’ve used a father’s hand
Now I regret all the time I’ve lost
We made our points but was it worth the cost?
I could’ve used a father’s hand
Could’ve used a father’s hand
I hope you’re proud of the man I am
I need our hearts to connect
I could’ve used a father’s hand
Could’ve used a father’s hand
You did what you had to do
You gave what was shown to you
I forgive you
