Half past 12 on a Friday night everything's wrong and it doesn't feel right
|
Tried to talk to someone in the bar she didn't like my face I didn't get far
|
When you grow up you're gonna walk big strides just like me
|
When you grow up you're gonna hit the big time wait and see
|
And I listened to his guiding voice like a man who overhears God
|
|
Over and above what I'm capable of
|
You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
|
Over and above what I'm capable of
|
You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
|
Are you over
|
|
So tall daddy used to tower above him symbol of unreachable
|
Time fades icons of perfection cruel result but not intention
|
His values are not the ones I choose he's failed in himself
|
In the blaze of his pride an independence expressed
|
Not there is no guiding voice like a man who loses God
|
|
Over and above what I'm capable of
|
You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
|
Over and above what I'm capable of
|
You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
|
Are you over
|
|
And a man can't understand his father 'til he becomes a father too
|
Now his own son's expectation becomes his own hearts burden new
|
Dad I didn't understand the pressure could it bring them back together
|
|
Over and above what I'm capable of
|
You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
|
Over and above what I'm capable of
|
You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
|

OVER AND ABOVE
