now you re shining now you re shining shining like a sunflower up in the sky shining like a sunflower up in the sky thank you for forgiving hurtful things i ve done as a child adolescent or woman thank you for embracing a flaxen haired baby although i m aware you had your doubts i guess anybody have a doubt please be at peace father i m at peace with you bitterness isn t worth clinging to after all the anguish we ve all been through thank you for the mountains the lake of the clouds i m picturing you and me there right now as the crystal cascades showered down strange to feel that proud strong man grip tightly to my hand hard to see the life inside wane as the days went by trying to preserve each word he murmured in my ear watch part of my life disappear father thanks for reaching out and lovingly saying that you ve always been proud of me i needed to feel that so desperately you re always alive inside of me
