Father's Heart Divided Lyrics

In a small town by the river, with a heart worn thin

A father stares at shadows where his boy had been

He hides his tears in silence, pride a heavy weight

But love flows like the river, bendin' but never breaks

His boy came home from college, with truth in his eyes

A soul reborn and blazing, cutting through the lies

The father stood there frozen, words he couldn't find

In a world that's ever-changin, he's a step behind

Lost in the light, of a truth he can't deny

He loves his boy with all his might, but he's wrapped up in the why

A heart divided, shadows cast, as his son walks in the sun

And the father's left to reckon, with who they've each become

The son, he walks so fearless, in boots that fit just right

A golden heart still shining in the dead of night

He doesn't seek approval, he's not looking back

But the father's heart is aching, thinkin' of what they lack

They sit in a room of quiet, words unsaid but known

In the space between the silence, the seeds of love are sewn

The son knows his direction, the father sees him strong

But the ties of blood and judgment, they tug and pull so long

Lost in the light, of a truth he can't deny

He loves his boy with all his might, but he's wrapped up in the why

A heart divided, shadows cast, as his son walks in the sun

And the father's left to reckon, with who they've each become.
