Now that it's father's day
I need to have my say
Why do we stay this way
We're so afraid of it all
So afraid of the fall
We look at the gap
I jump you stand back
I wait for the 'I told you so’
But it's okay
I understand
When I was small
You held my hand
It's okay
It's okay

Now that it's father's day
It's your turn to have your say
You wish that I had stayed
So afraid of the night
But that's when I burn my most bright
I sing to the moon
I get up around noon (written pre-daughter!)
It's a dangerous, insecure life
But it's okay
I come from you
I will be safe
I won't play the fool
It's okay
It's okay
It's okay

And when it's judgement day
What will our maker say?
Did we make out okay?
Or were so scared of the love
That we didn't show it enough
Did we tell silly jokes
Did we hide all our hopes
And why did I constantly try
To make you proud
To force you to praise
Why couldn't I see
All the pride in your gaze?
But it's okay
You're still with me
And there's still time
To sit on your knee
And tell you I cried
The day I found out
To marry your dad
It isn't allowed
But it's okay

It's okay
