Amor vincit omnia

I couldn't fight a fight that would tear you apart,
Left you in her world, though it broke my heart.
Every sunrise brought a brand-new ache,
For the pieces of me I had to forsake.

Nine long years, I've was holding on,
To the hope of a day where you’ll hear my song.
I left for love, though it looked like pain,
Praying someday you’ll know my name again.
Every tear I've cried is a bridge to you,
A father’s love that time can't undo.

The world was cruel, and the stakes were high,
But all I wanted was to see you fly.
I took my pain and turned it into prayer,
Hoping you'd find strength in the love that's still there.

I watch the seasons change, but I can't let go,
You're the brightest light my soul will ever know.
Did you wonder where I went, why I had to leave?
I gave you freedom at the cost of me.

Eight long years, I've was holding on,
To the hope of a day where you’ll hear my song.
I left for love, though it looks like pain,
Praying someday you’ll know my name again.
Every tear I've cried is a bridge to you,
A father’s love that time can't undo.

I was waiting at the edge of time,
Hoping to hear you call me "Dad" one more time.
All the hurt, the silence, it’s worth the fight,
For a chance to tell you why I did what I thought was right.

Nine long years, I was been holding on,
To the hope of a day where you’ll hear my song.
I left for love, though it looks like pain,
Praying someday you’ll know my name again.
Every tear I've cried is a bridge to you,
A father’s love that time can't undo.

No matter the distance, no matter the time,
You’ll always be the reason for this heart of mine.
I’ll keep believing, through all the despair,
That one day, my girls, I’ll find you there.
