## Lyrics
[verse]
I was small when you closed the door
Didn't understand what the silence was for
Grew up asking why you had to leave
Learned to carry what I couldn't grieve

[chorus]
Father, wherever you are tonight
I hope you found your kind of light
I spent so long waiting by the gate
Learning how to forgive so late

[verse]
Mama did the best that she could do
Filled the empty space that came from you
I don't need the answers anymore
Just needed to say it, settle the score

[chorus]
Father, wherever you are tonight
I hope you found your kind of light
I spent so long waiting by the gate
Learning how to forgive so late

[bridge]
I won't pass this silence down the line
I'll be different when it comes to mine
I'll be the one who stays, who tries
Who doesn't leave without goodbyes

[chorus]
Father, wherever you are tonight
I hope you found your kind of light
I spent so long waiting by the gate
Learning how to forgive so late
