In My Father’s Hands Lyrics by Carl De Villa

War Cry

2020

It took a lifetime to realise
An eon to reflect
Life’s fraught journey for him
Fever dream or fate
I never make it easy
Tried not to make it hard
Fight his patriarchal rule
Take my life and charge
On my tried and twisted journey
It’s the end I’ve waited for
In my sad and sorry story, euphoria and pain
I’ll never see him again
In my father’s hands
My own were small
Illusions lost to time
In my father’s hands
My heart was broken
Beaten over time
In my father’s hands
He lost me
To his hands I will return
In my own hands
I will raise you
I will love you
I will learn
There's a new chance before you
Won’t shape your life with fear
Life’s a journey forward
My heart becoming clear
I can’t promise it will be easy
Try not to make it hard
You are infinite potential, brilliance and light
And I’ll be right by your side
In my father’s hands
My own were small
Illusions lost to time
In my father’s hands
My heart was broken
Beaten over time
In my father’s hands
He lost me
To his hands I will return
In my own hands
I will raise you
I will love you
I will learn
