river movement - stitches and fathers (feat. benji winslade) lyrics

[chorus]

dad your voice is blowing in the breeze
there’s only so many times my heart can bleed
you hold the key that can stitch me up
just don’t say nothing, coz it tears me apart

[verse 1]

how many times do we wait, longing for the point where we hear that line
hit pause, sigh, freeze the moment, then rewind
i love you, uh, i love you, uh, i love you, uh, i love you
if choices and voices are missing then we
can live a slaves life, though we’re bought and we’re free
and i know that it feels like we lost ourselves, but a dad should instill belief
that even though we might trip and fall on the way, we are never too far out of reach
but we’re scared so we wait, so we stare, so we chase, feeling sad until it gets harder
to feel, so we deal + eyes shut, but his will is that a dad should look like the father
so we give and we hope, and we live and we cope, but the truth is we’re longing for him
to empower our voice and hear us through the noise, but we’re afraid to let him listen to us sing
yeah, our spirits are big, yet we try to wear wigs to cover our receding life
waiting for answers, not taking our chances, yet poised on the tip of a knife
it’s crazy, we know that, yet we can be so distant
our title reads family, but somehow i think we missed it
a daddy holds his daughter in his arms when she’s born
but forgets as she grows older the need to keep her heart warm
a son wrestles dad to try and test his strength
but as he grows he doesn’t where strength should be spent
yeah, how should a dad respond when he finally understands
should he stand or sit, or run or hit this mess with open hands
i’ve heard of a dad who in+spite of the bad, forgave and then ran to his son
rejoiced in his presence, gave him all his blessings, as love had recovered the one
so dad can you hear us? you model and then we’ll trust
your voice, as this choice is one i know can free us
[chorus]

dad your voice is blowing in the breeze
there’s only so many times my heart can bleed
you hold the key that can stitch me up
just don’t say nothing, coz it tears me apart

[verse 2 + benji winslade]

here’s a quick reflection
how the need for affection
with every good intention
can end with deception
these kids are striving for attention
but all they know is rejection
a parents selfishness infection
should be blamed for their loss of direction
no family should ever embrace imperfection
because that will only lead to destruction
but all families have hope for redemption
they just need to encounter the fathers perfection
not the way perfection’s understood by this world
but through the potential, of fulfilling his word
when you put love where your mouth is, miracles can happen
come on and fight for truth, overcome this mess that we’re trapped in
[bridge/ outro]

you can change how this story ends, + yeah
if together we bleed, then we can mend, + yeah
you can change how this story ends, + yeah
if together we bleed, then we can mend, + yeah
you can change how this story ends
