All my life I have heard their sound

But they rejected the want of me

My unfading desire to see

I the father. It was never meant to be 

 

We had each other, desires abound 

Still, they rejected both you and me

My unfading desire to see

I the father. Was never meant to be 

 

We tried, we cried, in tears, our love drowned

I rejected you, they still rejected me

My unfading desire continued to be

I the father. I was never meant to see

 

Finally, I gave up, moved on, uncrowned

I rejected them as they rejected me

My unfading desire to be

I the father. I never ever would see

 

But then life u-turned around

Rejection was no longer a concern to me

You invited me to be and see

I the step-father. I was sure it was to be 

 

And then I heard the special sound

No longer rejected they completed me

Finally my desire to see

I the grandfather. A swelling heart inside of me 

 

Our trio now break our silent sound

I have so much love for all and each

Finally my chance to cajole and teach

Life’s hopes and joys are within my reach
