I Can't Help but Wonder

Father? Son All my life, I'd've died to meet you Thought about your name so much, it hurts For 20 years, I've dreamt of how I'd greet you Oh, and now you're here, I can't find the words All my life, I'd have died to know you Days and nights I wish that I could show you For 20 years, I never could outgrow you Oh, and now you're here I can't help but wonder what your world must be If we're like each other, if I have your strength in me All this time I've wondered if you'd embrace me as your own 20 years, I've wandered, for so long I've felt alone Oh, my son, look how much you've grown Oh, my boy, sweetest joy I've known 20 years ago I held you in my arms How time has flown, oh Used to say I'd make the storm clouds cry for you Used to say I'd capture wind and sky for you Held you in my arms, prepared to die for you Oh, how time has flown I can only wonder what your world has been Things you've had to suffer, and the strength you hold within All I've ever wanted was to reunite with my own 20 years, we've wandered, but today you're not alone My son, I'm finally home Home, home Father, how I've longed to see you Home, home Telemachus, I'm home (home) Go, tell your mother I'm home I'll be there in a moment, of course Show yourself I know you're watching me, show yourself You were never one for hellos I can't help but wonder what this world could be If we all held each other with a bit more empathy I can't help but feel like I led you astray What if there's a world where we don't have to live this way? If that world exists, it's far away from here It's one I'll have to miss, for it's far beyond my years You might live forever, so you can make it be But I've got one endeavor, there's a girl I have to see Very well Father? She's waiting for you
