Lyrics

The river runs right through your path
Too wide to cross and too fast
Stranded right here on the shore
Too weak to try anymore

If you just can’t bear the cost
When all around you seems lost
I have been here from the start
You have a place in my heart

In my heart

I am your father
Come back to me
You can rest here
Under the shade of my trees
I will protect you
From any harm
In my house
You’ll be safe and warm
I will support you
And be your friend
I will hold you
So you can mend
I’ll be your shelter
Till you’re ready to try again

The mountain is too steep to climb
Your journey has run out of time
No way around, no way through
Failure is staring at you

If you just can’t bear the cost
When all around you seems lost
I have been here from the start
You have a place in my heart

In my heart

I am your father
Come back to me
You can rest here
Under the shade of my trees
I will protect you
From any harm
In my house
You’ll be safe and warm
I will support you
And be your friend
I will hold you
So you can mend
I’ll be your shelter
Till you’re ready to try again

Ideas and plans seem so real
But no one can feel what you feel
Dreams are so hard to make true
When no one will share them with you

If you just can’t bear the cost
When all around you seems lost
I have been here from the start
You have a place in my heart
