Stranger, I'm feeling stranger than I've ever felt before.

And so much more... different

Like something old has joined with something new, but still feels true

I'm passing through a right that every parent does

I'm walking on some shared familiar ground.

Yet every step I take, is not a step at loss.

And I've found, I like the sound of stranger.

A child I've yet to meet becomes my everything.

My song to sing.

Father, and suddenly the weight of it is real, but do I feel, I feel connected in a way I've never known.

A life from dad to me to newborn son.

So from today I'll never make a choice alone

One for all,

All for one

And when he's born I'll teach him how to use his common sense

He'll listen and he'll learn and he'll excel

I'll tell my son that life is lived through clear and present tense

Not only in the stories we can tell

My father told me stories I could never comprehend

In every tale he claimed to be the hero

I've tried to understand him, but I wonder if I can

Because after almost thirty years

I still don't know the man

I wish I knew the man

But he's a stranger

My father is a stranger I know very well.

A puzzling shell

Hopeful, what's on its way may helps us both to grow, but I don't know when I'll understand what made him wild

I don't know why he has the urge to fly

I want to face him like a man, and not a child

So I'll try

I'll really try

And in time my boy is sure to see

Brighter days for dad and me

We can do things better than before

So that strangers we will be...

No more!
