Life After Life After Death
by Showbread

Album: Showbread Is Showdead

Son, I want to tell you something
Without the words to make it so
There are some things that you can't know
Till you already know
Like how much I would love you
Even though you are so new
Every day is better
Because of you
I wish that I could keep you
From every shadow in your way
But they'll all come to nothing someday
They'll shrink and roll away

For now You've got to walk a road I cannot walk for you
If I could somehow spare you pain
It's something I would do
Because the world has got some teeth
Oh son, it bits. You'll see.
But when it does please remember
These simple words from me:

If I can be some light for you
To help you find your way
Just pointing at someone bigger than me
Then that would be okay
For you to know Him like I do
And even better still
And oh the way we love you
And oh we always will

There is some magic passing between a father and his son
And nothing takes that love away
No way it comes undone
But most everything else will break
And yes, some things will die
And yes, it's going to hurt you, son
And yes, you're going to cry
But I have found this thing is true
When everything seems wrong
The world is an ugly place
But it won't be for long
No matter where you find yourself, no matter what you do
The one who calls you is faithful son
And He makes all things new

So many of the ones I knew broke down along the way
So, don't be like them when you finally face the day
Don't turn your face away from the truth
Even when it hurts
Don't be the seed that can't take root
Upon the shallow dirt

I try to be a better man
And I'm still learning how
I had a dad who taught me once
And I can't ask him now
So while I have this time to talk
There's one thing I would say:
Follow Jesus with your heart
Love Him every way
