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
