lyrics

My dad told me stories
Even now I find them hard to believe
It's not like he was pulling my leg
Or that he meant to deceive
I think he wanted to set my mind spinning
Look for a broader view
I was just a little kid
I couldn't even tie my shoe

He said, Son don't you worry
Some things you can't yet understand
A time will come for everyone
And there will be a dreamland

My dad was once a solider
Fought battles during World War II
Said he killed a bunch of Nazis
Not sure how much of that was true
He seemed larger than life
Like an oak that stretches up the moon
He warned me to be on my way
'Cause it's over with much too soon

I know it may seem tough at times
And you might be tempted to fold
But you must do what you must do
Don't ever put your life on hold

My dad was pretty funny
Had clever way with a joke
Didn't matter what he said
I loved the way that he spoke
Some of what he did was hurtful
Some of what he did was kind
Everything he ever did will always be
In my heart and on my mind
