"Father To A Son" is about my father, me and my son. Ever since I became a father, I've been thinking a lot about what kind of person I want to be and what I really leave behind. I can pursue a career, start a company, make money, acquire gadgets and build a house. But the one thing that, in a longer perspective, truly will affect many generations to come is the respect I show my fellow humans and the love I give my children. This is my true legacy. - Tom Levin

FATHER TO A SON
Imperfections make us sane
Trying to bless every weakness
Many answers come too late
All you've given and forgiven me

All these lines upon my face
My decisions, our collisions
Every scar that I've attained
Seeing clearer, feeling nearer

Now that you're old and I'm no longer young
In you I see the father I've become
Soon we'll be forgotten like everything we've done
But love will still remain
Father to a son

We'll have our egos and our pride
But I promise, I'll do my best
To see things in your different light
Bound together, through forever

Now that you're old and I'm no longer young
In you I see the father I've become
Soon we'll be forgotten like everything we've done
But love will still remain
Father to a son, son, my son
Father to a son, son, my son
Father to a son

I wish you could learn from my many mistakes
But in becoming whole every heart has to break

And when I am old and you're no longer young
In me you'll see the father you've become
Soon we'll be forgotten like everything we've done
But love will still remain
Father to a son, son, my son
