All my life I have heard their sound
But they rejected the want of me
My unfading desire to see
I, the father.
It was never meant to be
We had each other. Desires abound
Still, they rejected both you and me
My unfading desire to see
I, the father.
Was never meant to be
We tried, we cried, in tears, our love drowned
I rejected you, they still rejected me
My unfading desire continued to be
I, the father.
It was never meant for me
Finally, I gave up, moved on, uncrowned
I rejected them as they rejected me
My unfading desire for me to see
I, the father.
I would never ever be
But then my life turned itself around
Rejection was no longer a concern to me
You invited me to be and see
I, the step-father.
With a fervent hope that it would be
And then I heard the special sound
No longer rejected they completed me
Finally, my forever desire to be
I, the grandfather.
My heart swells inside of me
Our trio now break our silent sound
I have so much love for all and each
Now comes my chance to cajole and teach
Life’s hopes and joys are within my reach
