Patriarchal Rhapsody by John Jacob Webb

We used to sing and laugh
You used to hold my hand
And say it's alright
Suddenly
Everything went out of hand
Because of things you can't understand

CHORUS:
This is what I am
I know I'm causing trouble
You're a man with your pride
But deep inside
You must realize
It's a transition
Not a rebellion
If I could only change it
Without causing trouble
Just to rename it
Father
Let's sing together once again

You were out of my sight
You left the room with gloom
I know it's for our good
Hastily
I've waited for this moment
It's time for me to rise above

You were out of reach
When I needed you
I got confused didn't know
What to do
I wanted to change
But there's no more space

BRIDGE:
I tried so hard to recover
It's not only you
Who did falter
Accept me it's what I am
Father
Let's sing together once again
