The Leader of the Band

Here's my second post for the day. After making a post-Mother's-Day-post for my everdearest Mama, it's but right to create one also for my everdearest Daddy. It's also my simple way of thanking him for all the little and big things he's done for me and Zion. And similar to what I did for my Mama's post, here's a song (well, a portion of it...) which I dedicate to my Daddy - the true Leader of the Band.

I thank you for the music

And your stories of the road

I thank you for the freedom

When it came my time to go --

I thank you for the kindness

And the times when you got tough

And, pap, I dont think I

Said I love you near enough --

The leader of the band is tired

And his eyes are growing old

But his blood runs through

My instrument

And his song is in my soul --

My life has been a poor attempt

To imitate the man

Im just a living legacy

To the leader of the band

I am the living legacy

To the leader of the band.
