about

The Father/Son relationship I wish I had with my Dad, but which fortunately I experienced and fulfilled with my Son.
On January 20th. 2018 I lost my 18yr. old son Brandon in a car accident, but this song is not about death but instead, it's about living the best relationship you can have as a father, with your son.

lyrics

That’s what fathers do for their sons
Verse 1
We were like two leaves afloat on a stream
Life was simple then, as calm as a breeze
Your eyes were searching, your mind going fast
Did my best to answer the questions you asked
That’s what fathers do for their sons
Verse 2
Then we became like two boats on a river
You moved more swiftly as our world grew bigger
I tried to keep up, trailing at times
But I never once let you out of my sight
That’s what fathers do for their sons
Bridge
I couldn’t help but notice how long you stared at the sea
Knowing someday a strong wind would take you from me
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
Now we’ve become like two ships in the ocean
So wide we sail in different directions
Son you don’t need to be in distress
To call anytime or come home to rest
That’s what fathers do for their sons
That’s what fathers do for their sons
That’s what fathers do for their sons
