Oh Father!

I wish I could release you from your pain

I wish I could make you feel my love

I wish I could hold you in my arms and tell you

I love you

I love you

I love you more than you can imagine

I love you even more than what you want me to love you

But you don't know it

You can't feel it

Because you are seeking what I can't give you

Because you feel alone surrounded by love

Because you are blind to what you have around you

 

Can you see?

Can you see that the way to your freedom is to see?

To see that you don't need love from me

You don't need love from anyone

You only need to love

And to love my dear

Is to pain

Not because you don't have it

But because you care

 

And when you tear

Let those tears not be of despair

Let them not be of loneliness

Let them be of joy

The joy of knowning our bond

The bond that has no barriers

Not even of distance

 

My dear

My love

 

Please let go

Please let go of your attachments

Please don't desire my love

You don't need to

You already have it

 

If you knew that

You would not seek to control

You would not seek to have

You would only want to love

And to love 

You don't need anyone around

You only need 

To know that I exist

And that I am doing my purpose

Like a bird flying to its destination

 

Just like you left your father's nest one day

So I need to leave yours

Be proud of me when I do so

Do not seek to keep me in a jail of protection

 

Love me

Care for me

Tear for me

But don't seek to posses me

 

Oh Father!

Oh love

 

Oh Father!

Oh love

 

Let go

Let go 

Let go of the chains

The chains that keep your heart in pain

Let your fears of aloneness

Disappear with your love

 

And know that I am always

Always with you
