From a Child, From a Father

George Wonderfully idiosyncratic, and delightfully different than what other artists are producing. I like how this release features the father nature of God -- something we seem to forget all too easily. Favorite track: Come Close.

Where were you when my house burnt down Where were you when all the ashes of a shattered life hit the ground In the midst of all these words you were never around Everything I tried after all of this wouldn't last and everything inside said give it up, the moments past I don't want to die to you but I don't want to die living this lie I don't want to tell my self everything is always going to be alright I don't want to lie and say tomorrow when I die that "The world will still be a better place and I will be with a familiar face" When everything I've seen so far has only taught me you're not here

Hiden 04:04
Like any child I run like we're playing hide and seek except you can't find me. I'm in the forest, deep I hide behind every tree to ensure my safety It seems you can't find me I'm too far gone and the moon has come out to blind you I won't make a sound to make sure that I am never found Like any father You search You sail every sea to ensure my safety Blind and deaf I run trying to go nowhere and find no one Till I run back into You You boast in your finding you're my Dad anyway so what did I expect you to do You laugh at my hiding what did I expect you not to move Would it help to say I'm sorry for all the times I left and said please don't find me

Patience 05:02
I'm moving in the spaces in between what you can't hear, might never see So just know all of this is for our greatness and my glory I'm doing what I have to do to move the world, the way it should move I'm going to change your whole life for the good So just wait one more day and see what I've made Oh son, you'll grow old trying to move on your own

Come Close 06:56
Child, I've been waiting for the longest time for you to swallow your pride We both know you wrong even when all the odds said you might of been right But I welcome you with open arms, you still have a home and it's not that far It might take 100 years but I'll still be here So come close Why are you running from the only home you ever had What will you do when you realize this world is every last thing you end up hating in the end It's every man's dream for their family to be made whole So stop running from the only home you've ever had and come close Child you still have a home You still have a room, it belongs to my son This house is not the same with one less child You are not sane without a man to call your Father One misinterpretation has brought this separation You're forgetting that I'm the father and my will is sovereign
