Battle Creek   Something that you said last week   Is eating me with sharpened teeth   And I am so afraid   Not something thrown out flippantly   But to my heart and very core   I may not see you anymore   Or something even worse   And in my bones   Your twenty-three same chromosomes   Reside in twisted prophecy   Likening our destinies   I genuflect. I'll hold my breath   I'll wait and see   Your blood is swimming inside me   And there is no love   Like fathers have for their sons      I am weak   But believe me when I softly speak   If there is strength inside of me   It's you who put it there   And I concede   That something stabbed   And made you bleed   Stole the light you once believed   Yes I still do   Do you believe   Is saw your father in a dream?   He said that he is safe and well   And waiting up for us   And there is no love   Like fathers have for their sons      Boys need fathers, every daughter   Every broken heart so gone   I believe that Love is greater   Never ceasing, always hoping   Always just beneath the dawn
