I wore my sins, like I didn't care
Drink my nights while my faith went thin
I broke the vows I swore I keep
Now I pay for it
When a house won't sleep
God knows the weight, I carry alone
Some scars don't show
But they own your bones
I'm still waiting on my son to come home
Still talking to God when I'm alone
Yeah, turning gray, heart beating slow
But a father's love don't let go
I'll be right here
Right or wrong
Still waiting, son
Still holding on
I taught you how to pray, not how to war
Now every night, I pray you're not blind
I don't need excuses, don't need truth
I just need your voice saying, Dad, it's you
Time keeps taking more than it gives
But hope's the last thing, a father needs
I'm still waiting on my son to come home
Still leaving that light on when I'm grown
God brings you back cold as wine
I thank him with these tired eyes
'Til my last breath
'Til I'm gone
Still waiting, son
Still holding on
