Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Father, son, locked as one
In this empty room
Spine against spine, yours against mine
Till the warmth comes through
[Verse 2]
Remember the breakwaters down by the waves
I first found my courage knowing daddy could save
I could hold back the tide
With my dad by my side
[Verse 3]
Dogs, plows and bows, we move through each pose
Struggling in our separate ways
Mantras and hymns, unfolding limbs
Looking for release through the pain
[Verse 4]
And the yogi's eyes are open, looking up above
He too is dreaming of his daddy's love
With his dad by his side
Got his dad by his side
[Verse 5]
Can you recall how you took me to school
We couldn't talk much at all
It's been so many years and now these tears
Guess I'm still your child
[Verse 6]
Out on the moors we take a pause
See how far we have come
You're moving quite slow, how far can we go
Father and son
[Verse 7]
With my dad by my side
With my dad by my side
Got my dad by my side
With me
