Douglas Ray Jaffe - Straight Path

While in my youth I was your child to feed
Now we're both grown and it's your love I need
Father, I come to you so bitter and ashamed
Father, I come to you 'cause our world is not the same
So many times I lied, and ran away to hide
Yet when I was in need you were there by my side
Now that I'm home with you, Father I'm walking a straight path
I'm walking a straight path at last
Sometimes when I'm staring off that great sky
I see my childhood flashing before my very eyes
Father please forgive me, the sorrow that I did bring
Father wont you give to me your blessing
For from you a neglected, disrespected youth
Gave up on you, now I`m confessing to you
Now that I'm home with you, Father, I'm walking a straight path
I'm walking a straight path at last
Denying her in my heart my soul paid the crime
Finding that nothing survives but the memories inside my mind
Father I`m caught between the old ways and the new
Father can you teach me how to walk in your shoes
You always told me there's no room for resentment
I realize now, for you there is no replacement
Now that I'm home with you, Father I'm walking a straight path
I'm walking a straight path at last
