LYRICS:
O’ FATHER © kelliemariereynolds2016

There’s this ghost of a man I know
Tells me to let go
And be brilliant as he knows that I can be
I tried to suppress my grief
To save face for sanity
But he came one night to show his love was still real

O’ Father
Was that you?
When I had my guard down did you enter the room?
The room

His hands became my hands
Tried to reach out to touch and mend
All those broken hearts
Of wives sons daughters sisters
I cried with my eyes closed
Tears streaming down my face oh is this the holy ghost
And for a moment, I was temporarily healed

O’ Father
Was that you?
When I had my guard down did you enter the room?
The rooooom Oohh…..

O Father was that you.
O Father was that you
Was that you
Was that you
