My Father’s Son Songtext
von Jani Liimatainen

A man unwavering
Silence deafening sometimes
Your demons do not hide
They′ve walked right by your side
Your whole life

I thought I always knew I am not like you
If I'll have a child I will raise him right
I′ll do things differently, I will never be
A stranger to my son, a father to no one

The seasons come and go
The raindrops turn to snow
Snow will melt away
What's green will turn to grey
The day will turn to night
The shadow into light
Aeons disappear
But I am still right here


The last one of my kind
Relentless in my pride
Unable to hold on
Unable to move on
I guess I am afraid
I'm bound into his fate
When all is said and done
Am I my father′s son?

A man unwavering
Silence deafening sometimes
My demons do not hide
They′ve walked right by my side
My whole life

I thought I always knew I am not like you
If I'd have a child I would raise him right
I′d do things differently, I would never be
A stranger to my son, a father to no one

The seasons come and go
The raindrops turn to snow
Snow will melt away
What's green will turn to grey
The day will turn to night
The shadow into light
Aeons disappear
But I am still right here


The last one of my kind
Relentless in my pride
Unable to hold on
Unable to move on
I guess I am afraid
I′m bound into his fate
When all is said and done
I am my father's son

Like you I′ll walk alone
Like you I'll dream alone
Like you I'll be alone
All you were I′ll be too

Is this the role I was given?
Is this the part I must play?
Is this the life I have chosen?
Or did you choose it for me? For you
You were there when I came to be
Now I am here watching you go
Is yours the road I must follow?
Am I a man of my own?

Softly, so gently you′re breathing
But slowly, so slowly you're leaving
Forgive me as I do forgive you
Forgive me as I will forgive you

There′s nothing more to say
But words beneath my name
Now all is said and done
He was his father's son
